Nothing about this speaker remotely resembles a Rolex. It is a utilitarian speaker. The measurement in its current state shows that it doesn't last long and so doesn't perform that utility anymore.
You are the one making the link to Rolex and the tested speaker, not me. I am merely illustrating using a random example, the absolute folly in
@Sancus statement, and the fact that consumers do not, on the whole, purchase on mere "results" and "price". If that was the case, the Timex would suit everyone as it keeps perfect time and costs next to nothing.
People buy for various reasons and yours, mine, or Sancus's reasons are no better or more "correct" than anyone else's.
In this forum, we rely on what we can prove and demonstrate. No nationalism. No bias because of this and that. An instrument measures the thing and it either performs or doesn't. Should not be a hard concept to accept.
No, the forum members rely on what
you demonstrate and what you measure. Or what you choose
not to measure. There is no "we". The members themselves, don't prove or demonstrate anything, nor do they get very far if they question the methods. I am of the opinion that the testing you are undertaking with speakers does not serve to characterize the speakers in typical use-scenarios. Many agree with me. Others choose to think otherwise, that's fine, but the wholesale trashing of brands and products in review thread after review thread by the peanut gallery is just puerile and detracts from the good work you were doing.
And yes, there is some nationalism and a clear bias towards anything out of the Harman group of companies. I am absolutely flabbergasted you would say otherwise. A casual visitor to ASR would think (Sidney) Harman invented High Fidelity and Floyd Toole was the only person to write a book on audio.
Anyway, in the spirit of less confrontation and peace and goodwill towards men, I'm out of this thread, feel free to have the last word.
