What Is Most Important?
Following a good start, I am disappointed that responses have now morphed into off-message posts that refer to drugs and religion. The angst between certain posters was not called for and not required. I have made 63 responses and 1 original post...

@kenjit wrote "There is no difference between high end and budget speakers. Only the price." Please can you explain your rationale for this statement? Thank you, BP  
When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one...
Yes, it is possible to experience that (but in my experience, not for long)... Because we have so much choice;  Because we have such varied hearing perception; Because we have different wants and needs; Because we have different things influen... 
Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?
@johnlnyc  Yes, that begins to highlight the issues. I also had an article published in HiFi Critic Vol 12 No1 (pages 42-44) in 2018, where I started to scratch the surface of my layman's understanding of hearing perception and how it affected m... 
Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?
@johnlnyc I'll second that, thank you! I would also add that our hearing perception does get in the way from time to time and, to keep music sounding fresh, we need new sounds, presented in new ways, to challenge us. This can be new music program... 
Electrical Power Outlet advice

Thanks for the chat. Kind regards, BP

@mijostyn  Thank you for the further information, in which you introduce how you tune a system from a measurement perspective. I tune my system and everything that influences the sound that I have control of, from a listening experience perspect... 
Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?
@mijostyn  Thank you for your considered advice. Actually, I only need to travel to The Sage, Hall Two for lifelike bass and, to my listening room when my Magico Q5's and my upstream audio system is tuned to my perception. Kind regards, BP  
Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?
Had a second look at the graphs and was looking to see if the output is dB(A) weighted? Doesn't look like it. Maybe you can confirm and if not, run the same methodology using the A weighted algorithm. I would be interested to see what these graphs... 
Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?
@mijostyn  In response to: To give you the feel of a live performance you want you bass up 5 to 10 dB between 20 and 30 Hz. IMHO, most live performances, especially in rock, electronica and related genres, do not deploy sound engineers that p... 
Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped?
