persoanlity and speaker preference

there may be a relationship between personality and speaker ownership.

owners of panel vs cone designs may differ with respects to aspects of personality.

it's a hypothesis which could be tested.

i have thought about presenting a personality inventory to memebers of an audiophile clube to which i belong, but have yet to do so.

there are persoanlity variables which may help to distinguish preference for panel vs box speakers.

can anyone suggest factors which when quantified could discriminate panel from cone speaker preferences ?

hi jond:

you may have made the point for me.

a lot of human behvior is based upon personality. speaker preference may be just another example.

i own a pair of quad 63s, looking to add a pair of maggie 1.6s.

i have owned tympanis, original quads, and for a short period of time a hybrid speaker by infinity consisting of an electrostatic tweeter and mid/bass driver.

actually, the best speaker is neither a cone or a panel, its live music.

hi doug, i am an independent logical type, with a curiosity about human behavior.

the only reason i am buying the magnepans is the problem with one of my quad 63s. i need a bckup speaker. i doubt i will be replacing it soon, as i generally prefer panels over cones, except for an occasional foray into the world of mini monitors, which i would place on top of my quads.
