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

I agree that accuracy is important.

Soundmind:

As I said, music is beauty. Reproduction of music is truth.

If the frequency response of your speakers has glaring humps and dips then the timbral 'signature' of the instruments is altered. It's not necessary going to result in a TERRIBLE sound - heck it still may be very pleasing. Especially if one does not know the 'correct' timbre of that intrument for lack of experience!

But this does not mean that meeting specs alone is the be-all-end-all.

In fact, I bet instead of seeking gear with good specs that sounds good and synergizes well, its JUST AS EASY to find gear with good specs that does NOT sound as good and does NOT synergize well.

This music thing is a human experience - and I believe that it goes beyond meeting published engineering specifications. Like two people with the same IQ have different personalities, two pieces of gear which measure almost identically can have different 'characters'.

Cheers,

Presto
