Blindfold Speaker testing


So if we made a  experiment where a  group of seasoned audiophiles had to choose  which speaker is best over all, 
6 brands all hidden behinda  curtain.
5 top dawgs in the xover box low sens design and 1 of the high sens PS design. How do you think the results will come out?
But we will not tell the group what speakers are behind the curtains, They will have no idea 1 of the speakers is Point Source. 
How do you think the, or lets say which 1 speaker do you think would come out on top?
No lets do this, Lets give the  group a  list of 5 speaker brands, Walsh, Wilson, Tannoy, and 2 others which are very popular, like Joseph with the Seas. 
and 1 more,
The mystery speaker is not listed, so they have no idea what speaker it is.
The ? speaker is the high sens Point Source.
Now Richard Gray hosts this *guess which speaker event* as he is a  master of these types of gimmicks and  has seasoned audiophiles fooled every single time.
Which speaker do you think will make top of the list in results??
I know.
The Mystery Speaker.
Then Richard pulls the curtain and reveals the winner.

I first used YouTube videos to listen to Koetsu Black Goldline before buying. Let There Be Sound! lists the components used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4m3UTQkUVU Listening to several of these allowed me to compare this Koetsu with some others, as well as hearing the Herron phono stage.

Here is my system https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Every single component you see was purchased on the basis of reviews and/or YouTube "auditions". None of this has been brought home for audition. I have never in all that time (now well over 16 years) felt the need to send anything back. Far from it, everything has performed well beyond expectations.

Study this system. When I say every single thing, I mean every single thing. Conqueror tone arm. Verus motor controller. Herron phono stage. Melody amp. Tekton speakers. And a whole slew of tweaks too numerous to mention.

Next I would invite you to read the listener comments.

Finally, you might want to reconsider your use of the word, "nonsense".
Look I really am only looking for comments from those members who have actually heard with their own ears a high sens new high tech speaker, All others, read, but please withold your snidey smirks.
Go listen to one, THEN come back and a make a comment

Tekton Moab here.
High sens? 98dB, check!    
New high tech? MTM array, check!
What do you want to know?

So, question: for this guy to do the blindfold test, would he wear a blindfold? Or gloves? https://youtu.be/sNrcb-9Gi8c?t=49
