Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
@mrdseitzer    I'm glad you found this thread useful! Thanks for your comments! Sorry, no I haven't heard the QLN speakers. They certainly are garnering a reputation.  Seems the going impressions are that they sound suave and smooth and rich, ... 
Loving my Hales T5’s
Yep.  Looks like another drive-by. Very strange.  
Nobosound Springs
  (That Bat Signal went up...) I've tried the nobsound springs and the Townshend  Seismic Isolation Bars under my speakers and reported on the results in other threads. The effect of the nobsound was just as the OP described.  Opening up of the... 
Open Baffle Experience
  My experience with such speakers is limited.  I remember hearing the Spatial speakers at a show but can't quite remember the sound. But my general experience with dipoles (including my Quad ESL 63 with a dipole Gradient subwoofer), is that the... 
Loving my Hales T5’s
I’m having deja vu. Wasn’t this a hit-and-run thread previously?   (And in that earlier thread I remarked that, yes, as a long time Hales fan I owned the T5s and still us T1 and the T Center channel in my home theater).  
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
  I have to say I’m still disappointed by the choice of finish on the o/baby. I don’t think I could stare at that finish all the time in my listening room - too bright, too bland. I prefer darker wood with a strong sense of grain. And I presume a... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
@rsf507    Your frustration and hesitation are understandable. I've been wondering if I'd actually be able to send my Perspectives for the upgrade due to the radio silence. Fortunately the local Joseph Audio importer finally got through and go...

@ghasley  Thanks! I saw that posted on SH forums and to repeat what I wrote there: Dang. Trying to keep my resolve in putting my saved audio funds to upgrading my Joseph Perspectives rather than buying yet another speaker. My resolve didn't nee... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
Now that you listed your creds I feel even better we are beating you at the system/FR measurement throw down- Audiogon Forum 1- ASR 0 You can have a rematch anytime, with those creds you should do much better in the rematch, just answer the be... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
I do NOT refuse to accept the validity of blind testing equipment, cables or tweaks.    That's good. However, I am unable to do blind testing.  So, I rely on my hearing.  Ok, that's fine.  As I've argued, most of us don't have the time or ... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
I don't use this term lightly because it's often tossed around too recklessly. But jerryg123 is clearly trolling.   Again...what people get out of being trolls is beyond me, it's a very odd way to spend one's time, but...almost every forum is inf... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
@fleschler    My hearing is fine. Ok, so that makes two of us.   Sighted tests are verboten? They can only be guesses and wrong. Like rolling dice? Must have measurements! Must be ABX blind testing! Sounds as ridiculous as it is. So you ... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
@fleschler   Are you deaf (or rather taste depleted that you can’t tell salt from sugar)? I believe you have lobbed that insult more than once. Can you tell me specifically what I wrote that leads you to think I have poor hearing? My disce...

@jerryg123  Figured. People here are smarter than you think ;-)      
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
@prof You are such an expert in your opinion denying the plausibility that I hear great differences and can make an informed opinion of my own. No, precisely the opposite. I recognize my limitations as NOT being an expert. That’s why I value e...
