Word.To read Herb, I really need to have a toke first.
Price sensitive and stupid customers. Some manufactures care about sound and love what they do, but eventually the bank says you have to turn a profit. Besides, the typical consumer has to save enough money by buying crap speakers to afford the magic cables.An awful lot of loudspeaker manufacturers are choosing to make poor product.

Ah yes, the JBL concept. Or as better known, Just Bloody Loud speakers.Tentative assumption is they've gone with something that "stands out" in the average auditioning room.

That's never happened to me, but you have to define 'poor design'. Many might look at my 2.5 watt single ended triode amplifier and scream that it is a poor design because it doesn't measure as well as some solid state amplifier. This of course totally misses the point - personally, I make my buying (or building) decisions after careful consideration to what's important to me, and what tradeoffs I'm willing to accept to achieve my overall goal.The hi-fi industry excels at marketing poor design as desirable, has any salesman ever said to you, yes they are really poor but you might like them?

Geez, please be constructive, cuz pretentious doesn't work very well, and certainly doesn't make a valid point.You enjoy listening to effects, that’s fine, I prefer high fidelity.
Keith
Well then, please define the highly subjective reality of listening preference as regards to 'high fidelity', since in reality the purist goal is unachievable.If you are altering to taste then you are listening to an effect, which is fine, just not high-fidelity.

What you may judge "poor" many other people may really
People on ASR seem sometimes forget that the consensus preference doesn't apply to all buyers.
