In Reply to: I thought "ruthlessly revealing" had a negative connotation... posted by Jimmy C. on September 21, 2001 at 14:54:09:
It can as "ruthlessly revealing" is often used as a synonym for "bright" word which is the lable that ALL manufactureres fear like the plague! I think that most in this thread are thinking that when mesh has asked for ruthlessly revealing, he asking for speakers that are excellent in low level resolution and microdynamic abilities to ensure he does not miss any nuances in the music while listening at lower volumes.To me, a speaker that has excess energy/output/ragged/resonant response in the upper mids generally sounds bright (from what I've learned over the years this often around the crossover region and we are hearing driver colorations/resonances, poor driver integration [selection], poor crossover design, etc.). It IS possible to build a speaker that does not have these issues and such a speaker will have loads of resolution, body, liquidity, macro & microdynamic abilities without sounding bright. A very good speaker that is ruthlessly revealing will not editorialize or impose its own signature, giving a very clear & natural window of the equipment upstream and the music.
That's my 2 cents...
