As many do I could pretend to not understand your English. But I won't, and confirm the message. What our dear audiophiles don't get is the mere fact that people use their stereos for a purpose other than showing off in having a stereo. It is a tool to them to listen to preferred (sic!) music; reiterated not listening to preferred speakers. The notorious preference score is a non issue to nearly all consumers, latest when they've got the before mentioned tool for before mentioned purposes.
That said, what are the criteria for a 'good' speaker at all?
Of course all audiophiles who enliven this board / forum rely on Toole's work, which is considered 'scientific' hence reliably ascendent in backing up claims regarding the best choice they made for their own use.
O/k, next criteria. What about, again, predicted preference?
Answer: what the heck is YOUR preference?!
What again and reiterated over and over do YOU feel when listening to music using speakers?
Logic: for what quirky reason do YOU look at others when evaluating YOUR preference?
In post #195 I asked a very humble question which could help to explore one clearly relevant topic, distortion namely (
#195). Reaction was active ignorance. Despite the reference to the well reknown Siegfried Linkwitz.
What do you think I should think of you taking best effort to keep a fully ignorant stance?
