| Tidal Speakers owners Jorn, once again I don't understand the statement that neutrality is objective. I agree that comparing what goes in with what comes out is "neutral." However, as you admit frequency response is a measure but is necessary not sufficient for neutral... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryoncunningham, I agree. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryoncunningham, when you are assessing whether component x is neutral in any objective sense, you have to use measures that others will agree or valid. If you use multiple measures, you have to further argue how they interface or what weight shou... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Roysen, we are communicating but I have no comprehension of why you say what you do. Your argument again that "So neutral is not subjective" just makes no sense to me.It is probably best that we just leave it there. | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Roysen, I am at a loss as to what you are saying in this post. You say, "Nothing is neutral in regards to audio playback." How can the concept "neutral" have any utility, if what you argue is true?" | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Bryoncunningham, you said on the other thread, " A subjectivist does not believe in objective truth." I cannot speak to other subjectivists, or more accurately those who put an emphasis on listening to make the judgment of whether they like a comp... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Holenneck, I think you misidentify my orientation and my experience. As I said repeatedly, measures of frequency response, phase, and dispersion are goals and used. But there is much beyond this and that is where listening comes into play. I have ... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Roysen, I don't accept that neutrality is objective. I find it strange that you use this term, but I unaware of an neutrality meter. What are the measurements of neutrality? I assume that you would argue that there is total agreement of what are t... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Dalecrommie, if the cello is playing in your room, they are the "best" speakers ever. I like the Volti Audio Vittoras ideas. | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Holenneck, I never said I knew about Jorn. I see he adds "step response" to my list and then goes to frequency response. I know that he remains very concerned with the non-resonant cabinets. As I said apart from these easy to measure characteristi... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Roysen, I am incredulous at what you have said in the last two postings. I have known many speaker manufacturers over my time in audio. Measurements have not been a major consideration in any case that I know of. I once visited a major UK manufact... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Geopolitis, I certainly know that the cabling this year was Argento. If you are right, it certainly was an example of how critical cabling is. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Dalecrommie, thanks for the heads up. I had never heard of these. I still fondly remember Klipschorns, but I must say that I was only happy with the corner horns. | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Quanmer, I think what you mean by "sharp edge" is the speed of the drivers. I expect all dynamic drivers, including the Marten Coltranes, lack this as compared with compression drivers on horns. This speed is not fatiguing if the electronics are g... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Although HP was better than most in using words to describe sounds, I still think it is futile effort to do so. Yes, we should not have Audiogon, or it is a waste of time. Certainly, neutral is subjective; every review is subjective. Stereophile i... |
