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.

Mozartfan discovered hi-fidelity on youtube using his headphones and now cannot believe he didnt realize that his headphones are point source as well.


Mozart, some of use have been playing with wideband drivers for decades (a decade for me). They are excellent at many things, and bad at many things as well.

" I’ve spent months looking at every Seas driver, trying to make something up,"
you can spend years "looking" at drivers. proof is in the pudding, in person audition. same with all those youtube videos you refer that "proved" to you that wideband are the secret audio sauce, you need to start listening to those wideband and live with these for a couple of months before making any final judgments. 
"They pop in and make a few comments and pooof, gone ."
something i hope you aspire to do



" I’ve not heard such pure midrange in any modern speaker."
care to list the speakers youve had in the past?
its quite obvious you havent own much, and you make your SQ opinion on youtube vids

" Plesae buy High Sens, this way you are helping the new 21st C speakers to become more avaliable at a better price."
you have to be a troll to say such weird claims 
" Go listen to one, THEN come back and a make a comment"
just to make this clear, you never heard Voxativ, AER, PHL, Supravox, totl fostex. so you never had in your room any wideband speakers. wow.


’’I am speaking pure musical zero distortion mids,’’
but you never heard them

"there is no xover speaker ever that will stand the high sens testing."
to know for sure, one would have to listen to every passive, then every active speakers, then listen to all the best wideband design,
you cannot even say what youve owned cause all youve had for 20 years its those Troel design. time for you to go out and listen rather then make such claims.

"Trust me, I got 40 yrs listening."
I would be worried if someone trust you

"I know a speaker when I hear one"
lol, on youtube

Im almost sure you are either a troll or Kenjit.

" If we madea survey of top 1000 audiogon members with this Q
Are you interested in Highs ens, Full Range speakerS?
1) NO, not at all
2) Somewhat
3) Yes
900 in #1

Fast forward 10 yrs from now, 2031

As the poet wrote so accurately

" Why the rejection?"
I’ll talk for myself. I have owned and heard some of the most reknowned wideband drivers ever built. I do agree they excel in the mids. but every wideband Ive ever had or heard, needed at the minimum a supertweeter for over 8khz and subs crossed quite high.
so while they are magic in the mids, they have no balls nor any super HF. Contrary to you, while I appreciate pure mids, not to the extent that ill accept to have the purest mids without enough bass.
just like in headphone world. the Raal sr-1 are widely known as the most transparent in the mids. yet people eventually move on cause they seriously lacks bass.

I cannot live with a pure wideband, I need a supertweeter and woofer or subs, turning that system effectively into a 3-way.

Some might be able to live with say a 8" wideband without any bass of HF support, but many cant. 

" You folks are just resisting change, failing to embrace the new technology."
wideband along horns are the opposite of new tech, they were the first speaker desings.

" Full Range/High Sens, is EXACTLY the answer to my searching."
glad your happy!
personally i found happiness in a diy hi-eff 3-way with 15’’ woofers
