Are all dBs created equal?
The Aria bass boost is pretty large and the have a fairly flat response up to about 15klz so I can see why you might need more SPL at a listening distance of 8ft or so. I have no idea about the Tyler but as I said they could have a nice smiley fac... 
What I've Learned Over 18 Months In Four Easy Steps
1. Good recording 2. Speaker with flat FR in anechoic chamber  3. PEQ and room treatment.  That's about 90% of what you hear.   
Are all dBs created equal?
dBs are equal , it’s a measure of sound pressure. The better the sensitivity of the speaker the less power it takes. Sorry I misread your question. If everything else is the same in your system I would say your new speakers might have a smiley fa... 
Desperately seeking some advice/tips for my S.M.S.L. SU-9 DAC
Filter,   Fast Linear DSD cutoff doesn't matter Sound color, Standard which actually by-passes   
How Audiphiles are Different
equipment evolving toward a mean, sounding more alike than different? Take speakers out and this has been true for about 20 years but humans, being what we are, continue to make mountains out of molehills.  
What covid research can teach us about audio measurements.
Audio Precision has an R and D department, so I don't think science stands still in finding new ways to measure audio gear. Anyway the analogy doesn't make sense to me. They weren't measuring the MRI machine.   
Which device makes for a better digital music source? Computer or streamer?
Streamers are computers. So is your iPad and phone. Using a computer that's designed for streaming can be better than a laptop or desktop but there's no hard and fast rule. I'm using a NUC running ROCK if I'm going through Roon. I can also connect... 
Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit
I didn't need ASR opinion to know this speaker wasn't anything I would be interested in. I think the main point is it isn't a "Giant killer" by any stretch of the imagination. Anyhow they are buying and a well known speaker builder, the same guy w... 
Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit
that level of ignorance helps you realize just how unimportant all the view points of people truly are.  I assumed he was letting everyone know how unimportant his view point is.

Has Amir ever reviewed anything that wasn’t low-fi or mid-fi? Yes  
The vanishing stereo rack
I don't think the primary base these companies are looking at hang out here. These types of speakers are already the top selling. Sonos, air pods etc..

New Kef LS60 is another where all you need is the speakers.  
What are we objectivists missing?
I didn't see anything about good music or good sound in the OP. Those are subjective preferences, hearing ability isn't. Young females between the ages of 10 and 14 have the most acute hearing ability.   
What are we objectivists missing?
I’m not confusing anything. I seems most of you can’t "comprehend" the fact that everything a human can hear can be measured. How well you hear or how good your listening skills has nothing to do with it. If it’s within the frequency spectrum of h... 
What are we objectivists missing?
Well, your question didn't make sense.  My take is that if you can hear a difference, there must be some difference.   Not necessarily, depends if bias has been accounted for.  So what are your opinions on what those differences might be and...
