ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS


Is it just me or am I the only one that has had it with overly pushy audiophiles that push measurements as the end all be all. I’m not talking about healthy discussions on measurements but obnoxious ones that talk down to you because of the measurements of your system or equipment is not perfect for them? All cables and cords are snake oil to them if it doesn’t register on their meters? Am I the only that feels this way?

My room sounds a heck of a lot better than it did when I first completed the build and measured it with the added bass traps and treatments. I wonder if my measurements would show a different result today now that I have tweaked components, cables, and more importantly, the angle of my mid/tweeter module on my Wilson's? Now I have the singer standing up at mic height instead of sitting in a chair. The whole soundstage is much better and more open sounding (violated the manual's set-up recommendations to achieve the standing singer). I should give it a go and see if the charts come out significantly different. hmmmm

It's a PITA to set that up, but might be interesting to see if there are no differences in the graphs, then.......
