This too is priceless. What you "see at shows" is like what you see at a cheap carnival with a funny house full of mirrors. You implicitly feel the same way but condescendingly conclude that those who like what they hear at a show must be intellectually and audiologically impaired.
You missed the meaning of my last two sentences, and you have to be a very insecure person to come to that conclusion.
does again show that you can train your ear/brain mechanism to ignore some signals and be sensitive to others. I see it all the time at shows.
It is clear to me that we train ourselves in how we choose to listen to music and audio equipment. If you hear cables and amps more than you do speakers, that’s you, and it’s personal. The ear-brain mechanism is plastic and flexible enough to allow for this, I think. There are often rooms I go to where other listeners and I hear entirely different things. No where do I ascribe superiority to either approach. Buy what you like.
I will say that from what I’ve read, the average listener finds frequency response the single most important attribute. If that’s true, then for the majority the room and speaker are going to matter most. If that isn’t you, then that isn’t you.
Mr. Squires-you seem to do nothing on this Board but pontificate as though you alone have all the answers.
The mark of a true gentleman is calling them Mr. right before you say they are bloviating. That’s a class act I aspire to reach.
Be best,
Erik
