What if a high end speaker measures really badly?
Measurements are not important; it is how the equipment sounds to you that matters.

"why do you think I put the lol 😂 at the end! Lol 😂 " Indeed you did. Without wanting to hijack this great thread: "And yet the U.S. is home to most of the world’s best comedians. Funny how that happens. " US humour is very different to that in ...

I have always been told that Americans do not understand sarcasm. The above post proves it.

"Borensen" Is this a new manufacturer as I have never heard ot this brand. They may run into some problems as the name is very close to Børresen, a brand from Denmark.

Thank you @mikelavigne for your report. For those who cannot get there dues to distance this is very informative. Please all of you, the speakers are Børresen.  
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
"Why would anyone want to look a Porsche 911 specs or its track performance? " That is precisely the point. Why do you need to look at 911 specs? We all knowit is a great car.    
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
"As engineer for 20+ years I can assure you 99% of the high tech things you use (or even keep you alive, I work in the biopharmaceutical industy) (sic) were build or designed using models." I do not doubt this, however I do not need to know and am... 
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
"Nope.  I buy speakers based on my hearing, not a graph made in a testing lab." This! I agree completely. "The full measurements that the kipples spit out are super valuable. " In what way? Do these measurements tell me I will like what I hear? ... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@coralkong It would appear that you do not know the meaning of the word "supposition". I do not "hate" these speakers, what a silly comment you made. I could not buy them even if they sounded fantastic as every time I played them their looks woul... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I have to ask, does anyone actually buy these speakers? They are amongst the ugliest I have ever seen.  
Turntable advice
rdk777  has hit the nail on the head. The turntables he suggest are close to endgame tts. A TechDas maybe with a Kuzma or a Thales arm will give you years of pleasure.    
The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in"
"Keep on believing in imaginary things" Like your belief that all Dacs sound the same?  
New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be
"Save your money and leave things alone! Your streamer and DAC are fine! Spending more is a sideways move!" As always, the comments from Jasonbourne are half truths and quite silly. He is only correct that in order to get a wow factor increase, yo... 
New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be
Your Gustard Dac is pretty good. Yes you could get a "wow" factor increase, but you would need to spend a lot - a Tambaqui, a Playback deisgn or a Meitner. Is it wort it if you are primarily listening to Home Theatre? Not in my opinion.
