In my opinion, listeners should just listen and make up their own minds. I think the problem in audio and other subjects is that people have too many premeditated ideas based on things they just read rather than just listening. Who cares if it goes against things people say. I've been in many situations like that on all fronts. I'll give an example. Many audio buffs say not to place Klipsch Forte's against the wall. I have two videos in two different rooms. Yes, they are two different rooms but one is treated professionally at Upscale Audio, has the newer version of the speaker, which according to others,is supposed to sound better.
Even though YouTube isn't going to produce all the fidelity, it still offers a "relative" difference between the two different rooms regarding placement and sound which is clearly audible with earbuds or headsets if one listens. You be the judge.
The Upscale Audio Forte IV's are placed several feet away from the back wall while the Forte I's in the second video are about 1 foot from the wall.
