General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

I mostly agree with what you wrote: FWIW, and...

excuse me if I've misunderstood in your previous post.

That's why it's good to cite specifics.

If you compare something like AvanteGarde horns to Vandersteens, depending on other amplification factors, - cabling "CAN" or "MAY" be very important. As sensitive & highly detailed and resolving horns also reveal noise. The speaker cables, (different type of shielding)?, could possibly mitigate or amplify this noise, RFI or whatever.

Wilson, AvanteGarde, Karma, Von Schweikert, all make very expensive speakers: all of them have very different physical materials, and all of them sound different. And, - they all sound different from sub-$1000 NHT speakers. With each of those aforementioned speakers, different cables may possibly behave in different ways when we speak of transmitting RFI, or raising or lowering resonant frequency, - some more significantly than others.

Lastly, - there are really no significant "objectivists." No equipment design topology, and no resulting final sound can be universalized to sound better. You can make mundane and gross objective statements like the Manley Stingray is an integrated amplifier that uses tubes. But choosing to use tubes, or not, in your design is a subjective choice.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
