Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
  invalid, Are you suggesting that those parameters are not contained within the measurements used by Amir?  How would you show that? First, there are measurements that correspond with things like the soundstage being perceived as bigger (e.g. ... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
  @clustrocasual  This is a non sequitur, but I listened to the top measured products on ASR Sounds like a lot of gear!  Which gear? compared to some which measured worse, Which ones? That could help put your post in to some perspective.... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
I can't remember the NEAT model the dealer demoed for me, but they were one of the higher up models, fairly big as I recall. It was just one set of speakers, one time, so I can't denounce all NEAT speakers.  But it left me not wanting to seek the... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
As I wrote early in the thread I really like Kudos speakers.   My Kudos dealer switched to NEAT speakers - mostly I think because he had to because it was difficult being a Kudos dealer in Canada or something.  Anyway, he made a big pitch about ...

@arafiq    Not yet.  It's expensive. I probably will but haven't pulled the trigger.

@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...

@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 ...
