Is anyone here familiar with Scott Wheeler? This is his question.
I am not sure he believes the research at NRC/Harman was/is of scientific nature -- Yet he claims to not object to or disagree with the research -- although he's previously professed his issues with the research. His circular reasoning begets circular arguments. To no end, can you have a reasonable conversation with this person. He enjoys calling out both objectivists and subjectivists while at the same time, he is a die hard objectivist and die hard objectivist. A part of me used to believe he was a troll and I once referred to him as a nihilist based on our prior conversations but I can see now that he is dead serious.
So the question for us "self proclaimed objectivists" -- his words -- How can we know which loudspeakers we prefer without personally taking part in blind comparisons to substantiate our preference? Is this practical? Is this realistic?
Lastly, this is his proposal to properly testing each loudspeaker to determine a preference: "The difference for me would be setting both speakers up as they are supposed to be used with room treatments that suit each individual design."
Thoughts?
