Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ...
Try going to ASR and ask who thinks Pass, Luxman and Ayre all sound the same. I can't speak for every member of any forum but from my understanding of the consensus view on ASR is not they all sound the same but that amps which measure the same an... 
Law of Accelerated Returns
If you have something like this at home you can  get that 3d sound. What passes for "high end" here not so much.  https://www.genelec.com/-/reference/genelec-the-ones-power-morten-lindberg-s-stunning-immersive-studio https://www.genelec.com... 
Law of Accelerated Returns
The law of diminishing returns applies to audio gear the same as anything else. The notion of accelerated returns is just more audiophile blabbing by reviewers. If you don't think diminishing returns applies to this first world hobby then you have...

To many subjective preferences to state anything with certainty. One persons overwhelmingly "better" could be another's subtly "better".    
Reliability of Dutch & Dutch 8C speakers
can get rid of my amp, DAC, big speakers, cables and sub and get these active speakers and along with a good streamer listen to Tidal/Roon with as good or better sound and pocket money from my gear sale? Is that right? Yes, depends on your room...

You don't need the streamer to use Roon, the Dutch and Dutch are now Roon certified.

to me this reads that your patient has flatlined..... It doesn't follow the Harman curve but it's my subjective preference. The patient isn't dead but he is going downhill.

It just shows a slope of the FR from my listening position. Yes, it was done with DSP which shows bass traps are not always needed to smooth the nulls or absorption for reflections. DSP isn’t really doing a whole lot above 500hz. IF I could post t...

I used to think I could do it by ear then I started measuring and could see how lousy my ear is, perhaps others are a lot better.  These are $3700 Philharmonic BMR Towers in room with no special room treatment only using DSP.

I guess I’ll remain deluded and an idiot. I can live with that.   
Audio nonsense
blind listening test evaluates a Device Under Test, not the listener In some instances the listener is the device under test. If I claim I can tell 2 different DACs apart, I'm not testing the DACs ability but the claimants ability.   
Audio nonsense
No wonder 99% of the time almost everyone claiming to be an audiophile fails double blind tests. Makes sense to me. The audiophile claims to hear differences  between devices and fails to do so in double blind testing. In this scenario the audi... 
Where is Geoff Kait???😢
Scotty beamed him up.  
Help With DSP Options
There are ways of doing either or both, depends on what your goal is and how much you have to spend.  How are the 3 way horns wired?
