I have built two systems I enjoy very much. I built them to suit my ears,and I have never measured anything. (Other than speaker placement) I have employed some items that others scoff at. I’m good with that. I look at this hobby as a journey. Some want to take the Freeway,others want to stay out of traffic.
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?
