pauly gets “best post” on this thread. Thankfully I listen with MY human ears,and not some sort of scope or other measuring device. I’m not saying measurements don’t have their place,I’m saying my ears overrule for what I like. I’m the one that is paying for the gear with MY money to make ME happy.
What system would a robot with ears buy?
We talk a lot about perception vs. specifications and the limits of popular measurements.
I’m wondering, if you are an audiophile who had no taste but was well read, especially with specifications, what kind of a system would you end up with?
We have to consider everything, including size and power efficiency. Could you even consider an amp that was not Class D? What would your streamer/amp be?
Would you consider thermal compression?
Would you go with high efficiency horns? Best bang per watt? So, a Class D amplifier with some horns? Perhaps a Klipsch Heresy?
Or would you attempt to get the lowest possible low frequency cut off?
As a counter point, maybe we should have a contest for which a'goner has the worst measuring system they listen to. I don't mean a boom box, I mean, do you have an obscure OTL amp with single driver speakers which combined measure like crap but you love to hear?

Which raises the question, What would a robot want with a system in the first place? https://youtu.be/D34ofv9VquE?t=78 |
