This is very timely...
I want to add that extremely flat frequency response and extremely low distortions don't have correlation to the real listening. The religious belief in measurements shows the incompetence of the author. 
This is very timely...
If audio writers who praise these products asked mainstream speaker designers why they don’t make super-efficient speakers, they’d learn that with efficiency comes compromises—in frequency-response linearity, dispersion, distortion, and power hand... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
@djones51 ,My experience is based on what I can or can't hear.It doesn't based of religious believe in science.I talk about the model that have more correlation to what we hear than current models. Most of the audio religious apostles of science d... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Ohm's laws, Maxwell's equations, Quantum mechanics are just models created by man to describe natural phenomena. But none of these models can be considered the final true. Maybe someday there will be new models that will help reveal the secret of ... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
The linearity of DAC doesn’t depend from output buffer tube of solid state.It depends from chip used in the DAC or digital to analogue conversion method.Triode tubes are much more linear vs any type of transistors as amplification element. All goo... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
I understand that different kinds of listening test have drawback. But we don’t have other tools right now.When I tweak my system I noticed AB test are not the best thing to make any conclusions. After each tweak of upgrade I preferer to listen th...

I have BSc in electronic engineering. 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Hi @dletch2 ,What kind of knowledge do you have?Are you psychoacoustics specialist?Have you read any book about psychoacoustics? Do you have any knowledge of electronics or acoustics or the human brain science? 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
The difference between science and some audiophile that in science the experiment is over the theory. If in the experiment theory falls - science throw out the old theory and looking for a new explanations and theories. And in the audio the listen...

Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers
Yes you are right - human voice is coming first for tuning system. 
Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers
Hi @dletch2 ,I didn't say all new speakers are bad. There are some good modern speakers.About colored sound it is not true. I'm am not old, just 47.People who go to classical concerts, play or listen acoustic instruments at home try to make their ... 
Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers
Newer, by far. Cone materials are far superior, even more so at the lower end of the spectrum. Ditto techniques for reducing varying inductance effects. Better capacitors. Far less cabinet resonances. More consistent dispersion. Most of "new ...
