Do show me where I stated I have golden ears or Ill take that as a serious accusation. Ill wait. And if you are on the same 'all good amps sound the same' wagon, point me to that direction. Ill wait some more. I dont see any problem asking for recommendations on amp and speaker synergy, unless you are a stubborn know it all and think that asking about something you dont know is 'losing face'. If I dont know about something, I ask. Many out there have much more experience than me and Im all ears and willing to learn.Across a number of threads you've declared you've got golden ears and are constantly asking about amp and speaker pairings and synergy. You are also looking to replace speakers you've just bought. Part of the reason for this site is to avoid not only snake oil, but audio purchases always resulting in "the road not traveled" or "the next one to get away." Some people enjoy the constant switching, purchasing, and selling to get the elusive "perfect wave", or maybe just to experience how all of the different products sound and feel to them. If so that's cool but golden ears to many of us is a treadmill of disappointment. Because those who proclaim this need to realize the only way to pursue sound is to try out every product and combination themselves. Trusting measurements and correlating them with your preferences of sound will greatly reduce the universe of choices.
I bought speakers that measure well here, even ones getting a soccer panther like the JBL A130 but I disliked the sound with no eq. Nothing wrong with selling speakers that you dont like, especially nowadays when people are buying based on reviews and measurements. Ask me what speakers I bought that I didnt sell until this day, it outnumbers the ones I sell off quick. And this has nothing to do with golden ears, even IF I have it. If you think that everyone hears the same thing in a given equipment, think again. Thats the beauty of this hobby. And yes, measurements sure will help a lot, but sometimes people make the mistake of buying something they dont like. I havent sold off anything that I bought after listening to it.
