Amir did recommend the R3 based on the strength of its measurements alone. He also came back and did a bit of EQ'ing on the R3 and liked them better on his subjective listening. Based on Amir's review of the R3, I bought a pair and am thoroughly enjoying them.
Yes indeed, an users who are very active are aware of this subjective impression follow up...but most newcomers won’t dig into 30 pages threads.
@st379 It’s just Amir’s opinion, you have to respect his subjective preference even if you disagree, that’s how the world works. He never states “hey I’m god and my recommendation goes to church”.
This is 1 man opinion and you can make it as big or as little as you wish.
But then Amir has a long road on this, several years of experience and fair share of good speakers listening, this are attributes that many people would appreciate and like to know his subjective impression.
If you don’t agree with them you can skip them at all and form your own opinion, I’m sure Amir won’t take offense on that.
@Amir is it possible to add the room mode EQ FIX to the main post ? This could prevent future rants. I think the review as a whole ended up a little bit unbalanced given the measurements were good and the second nd time you listened to them you also thought they were good.
Not a lot of people will dig the whole thread or find the fix into the Revel F208 thread.Cheers
