I have done that with many other speakers as well. It really does matter a lot.

When I get that, it tends to make me annoyed and unfocused to a degree. It's just . . .annoying. Being annoyed is fatiguing I guess. It's like hearing a background sound you don't like over and over again, where it's almost not annoying, but then it is.

For me it's kind of like when I just don't want to listen to music anymore. I think it has more to do with the mental state at the time than anything else.
At certain power levels, it may be more economical to achieve the desired output with Class AB rather than Class D? (trebble usually requires far lower power to achieve the required SPL's... lower current, perhaps a well proven Class AB circuit is then more economical)
Science would never try to tell you a subjective empirical experience is not real or valid, subjectively, because subjective empirical experiences are always true (unless the person is lying). Science would ask, "Why are you having that experience?" If that question cannot be answered scientifically, then you simply have a subjective empirical experience, such as, "I am here and now having the experience of white rabbits flying in the room" or "I am here and now having the experience of pain." In that respect, the only thing science can say is (1) "There are no white flying rabbits to any other observers" and (2) "If you honestly declare it, it's categorically true you are here and now having the experience of pain ("here and now" so as to exclude memory becoming a variable).
That said, one would never state that a subjective empirical experience is an objective truth w/o first having the evidence that it really is (which is actually the point).

There is a big difference between "I hear x" and "I hear what I take to be x." The first is an objective statement, the second is a subjective statement. There is no counter argument to a subjective empircal statement. They are always subejctively true, e.g., "I am here and now having the experience of x." However, people can legitimately call into question memory, but if what you hear repeats itself then memory isn't a variable. It is wise for us to always remember that the opposite is also true: We can't claim that subjective empirical experiences are objectively true, either.

Yeah. I also suspect it has more to do with stock, availability and price than anything else.

Sure. My boss has us use up expensive parts when they will work ok. Duh!

Well. At the end of the day it's business. I know it's not romantic but that's always the decider.

And, I bet the old AB and the new class D sound just about the same.
Imagine that, right? I read somewhere that every single system needs an EQ and if you don't use one, you're missing out becasue every room, piece of equipment, and ears are different.

It depends.. I would never buy an amp I wasn't sure was load independent. And more class D than class B has turned out to be load dependent.
Edit: so I stick with A/B for now as I like my Dirac to be correct.

Whatever your experience, I bet Genelec was fairly careful. I find it hard to believe they bought any old class D and shoved it in, hoping for the best.

Well. Maybe they did. And dsp'ed it.

If it's just a matter of FR, sure.

Yeah. Should not be blind to how effective this is.
I mean, this is why small bluetooth speakers exist.

Was it subjectively satisfying?During my studies I read a 20+ page article about objectivism - that was quite fatiguing too

All of this could be from a million things. Maybe you were hangry? Maybe you didn't sleep well?
I mean seriously.

Haha, yeah I would say so.Was it subjectively satisfying?
Science is partly subjective in the way that scientist as a community choose what to investigate. Science also implicate value judgements and depends on funding, grants etc. But I guess this is not very relevant for this discussion.. (is there a science/philosophy sub-category/thread on this forum?)
