In the case of the "objectivists" I find they are not worth listening to.
- They're agenda seems to be founded on starting an argument
- Usually with a tone of superiority and talking down to others
- They love "flame" wars
- Will justify their position with a self fulling prophecy
The whole reason each of us has a given system is we enjoy it and believe it sounds good to us. That is all the matters. We want to enjoy the music we love on a system that meets sounds good to us.
The premise that measurements are the only thing that can matter is silliness - especially since the music creation process is a creative endeavor. Why do "objectivists" put out the notion "Wow, this sounds terrible but it measures perfectly. I am right and everyone else is wrong. I will be happy to be unhappy and pissed off but at least I am right."
Not even sure why objectivists want to engage except for some deep seated emotional issue to prove something to others and covert them from the misguided subjectivist path to the light of the objectivist religion.
