The OP has a view which likely fits the saying "a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing." He understands some speaker design principles but not others, taking the view that any data regarding listener preference should be discarded. In his view the beloved BBC style monitors are crap because of their intentional frequency response variations. The OP's dogmatic view is not the reality of what people want to listen to.
There are some speakers which come close to his ideal like the Kii 3 and Genelec 8351. However, even those get an occasional tepid review. He would explain those reviewers are idiots. The simpler explanation is mathematical perfection isn't for everyone.
At Audiogon it isn't anti-intellectualism. They are calling a stone a stone.
Please do not distort my words. How can the denial of empirical evidence in favour of personal anecdote be anything but anti-intellectual?
Vaccines occasionally get tepid reviews. Their detractors are similarly calling a stone a stone. Do we condone it?
