Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists?


When these two camps retire to their listening rooms, which school of thought tends to get better sound? Those who ultimately place their faith in measurements above actually listening to their systems? Or those of us who look at measurements, but ultimately make our decisions based on what subjectively sounds best to us?

That's the wrong question because they are likely to define "better" differently.  The real question is "Which school of thought tends to be happier with their sound?"    

The subjectivists seem less worried about being duped by some unusually clever nasty capitalist. 

There may be various explanations for that and not all of them are complimentary.

I don't have any strong opinion here either 😂, but I tend to call them Measurement Morons. Using "objectivist" to describe them is way too flattering for these morons.

That's hardly an objective statement.  😘
