| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier Kidd, Not aware of the concept of an octave being applied to light/eyes, so not sure how to digest the comparison to sound/ears, but I'll buy the timing considerations being more difficult part as mattering when it comes to playback of recorded mu... | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier "Mapman, photography with a current $500 camera is a LOT better than nearly all high end systems."The fact that a relatively inexpensive camera these days can take such good pictures is just one reason why I often wonder how much beef there really... | |

| Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room? I'd be prone to want to buy from the dealer with speakers that sound good to you that helps to best take your specific needs into consideration, including room size, acoustics, listening preferences, etc. That's probably the most important thing. ... | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier Music is art. All art is impressionistic. Even the highest quality, highest resolution photography is not perfect. There are many other perspectives of teh same thing possible that the photo does not show. | |

| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? Live music, in studio or otherwise is the reality, FBOFW. Right?How much anyone cares about it though is totally up to them.Alan Parsons has never invited me into his studio, so I will never know what that was supposed to sound like.But I can walk... | |

So what specs/measurements on an amp alone can be used to determine a pecking order in regards to timbre, depth, and spatial resolution? I am not sure there are any. But ... | |
