It’s worth remembering here: Amir and thus most ASR members are evaluating speakers generally using the research cited by Toole et al as identifying how a good sounding speaker will tend to measure.
And it is a good thing. I think this will provide the best possible baseline for discussions. Without a baseline it's quite impossible to give and receive recommendations as these would be based on how certain speaker makes us feel in our room with our preferred music. With a baseline in place it's useful information to say that one likes boosted bass and treble and therefore certain B&W speakers sounds better to him than for example R3.
It is of course too strict to say that accurate speaker is a better speaker. But it is still way more correct than to say that B&W is better because some people like it more. We know that in blind test most people prefer more accurate speaker and also that by learning objective listening one's preference tends to shift towards more accurate speakers.
This causes some emotional reactions if one thinks that the preference one has acquired for certain sounding speakers is more "pure" and acknowledging that there might be "better" preference feels like dismissing ones personal opinions. It still wouldn't hurt if the B&W aficionado tries some critical listening based on the research at least to understand what is meant by accurate in this context. Well, it can hurt because after this exercise one might not stop noticing the boosted bass and treble and it ruins the speaker forever, placing the hobbyist with unimaginative masses of people preferring "accurate" speakers.
