I was half kidding as well. That's sort of how the mind works. I am a scientist and we actually have to train our minds into not being bias and let the results speak for themselves. Why are we by default biased? I am not sure...it's not my field. ...

@ thecarpathian. Can you elaborate on expectation bias?

@ tom8473. We all have different ears, so maybe yours could not detect differences in sound among speakers. As discussed above, the tool is best for relative comparisons among speakers.

@ rocray. I think you are right. They lose money when people audition speakers at home and return them...and the cycle continues. Some people take advantage of that and overdo it. If costumers use this tool before buying, they may reduce the numb...

@glupson. I did not have any of the headphones on the list, but it did not matter. I chose one of the same brand as mine and the tests I did comparing the speakers I have at home resulted in very accurate results in terms of speaker characterist...

Sure...

All of the above. One thing is not enough in my opinion. I'd use all the resources available.

I see your point.Funny thing, last night I compared the speakers I have at home with others to see if Crutchfield's tool is able, at least, to reproduce the characteristics of the speakers I know well and listen to at home almost every day. Well, ...

@cedargrover. There is quite a bit of science and technology behind this online tool. I would not call it a parlor trick. That’s why they have PhD’s working on it. What you call filters are actually models. They take a lot of measurements from the...

Nobody ever said this is the same as auditioning speakers at home, not even Crutchfield said that. In fact, they state that this is not like audition speakers yourself. Take it as it is, which is a good way to compare speaker sound characteristics...

Indeed!! And what Crutchfield did, I think it's better, since in many of the Youtube videos you can't really compare.  
Crutchfield's Speaker Compare
Yes, this is similar, but they have a lot of speakers to compare. Also, they do it in a much better way I think. Read how they do it I actually like speaker comparisons online. That's what they're for: to compare some characteristics of speakers. ... 
$1000 bookshelf speakers with "recessed", "laid back" or "flat" mid-range?
Hey guys, Found a crazy good deal on a pair of Definitive Technology D11. I read great reviews and none mentioned these speakers being forward. In fact, I saw they have a great almost flat response. I think they'll pair well with the Yamaha integr... 
$1000 bookshelf speakers with "recessed", "laid back" or "flat" mid-range?
I don't think they are bright, in fact, the top is not "lively" at all. I think the UB5's have a very forward midrange (e.g., voices, guitars, etc, sound way in front of other instruments and at a relatively higher volume than the rest of the musi... 
$1000 bookshelf speakers with "recessed", "laid back" or "flat" mid-range?
I will take a look at those Rega speakers. Good reviews overall. Thanks for the suggestions guys!
