@tk21 Personally I don’t think it is a trick question, but audiophiles often treat their gear like their children, and look to be their life-long care givers, so maybe there is a downside to owning a system that performs great no matter where it is or what gear it is paired with, and that is that the owner doesn't feel wanted.
Which is better, a fussy speaker or a versatile one?
When rating speakers into the high and ultra-high-end (or ultra expensive?) what do you think makes a speaker better?
Take two speaker models, for about $400,000 a pair, and 800 lbs. One requires an excellent room, super quiet amps while the other sounds great in a number of different acoustic environments and can be powered by modest amplification, and speaker cables don't seem to matter.
Which is truly the better speaker, and which would you rather live with?

@larryi I can really see the benefits of horns in these types of scenarios. |
