From Don Till's post below:
"Indeed, and as we move on it's assumed we are all in agreement with the conclusion as forwarded - ie. that the Benchmark does indeed sound worse than the others.
Truth of the matter, for the conversation to move on with any relevance whatsoever, we should be in agreement on this point."
It seems you're inherently incapable of staying on topic of discussion...
And even if I was, and I might not be surprised if I actually would be, the most I would conclude it that the most accurate is not always the most preferable.
But that fact I came to that exact conclusion decades ago.
What's objectionable is attempting to find objective evidence why? As if one really expects science to back up their own subjective preferences? That's so arrogant and self-serving it's repulsive.
If it's of any solace - the rest of it, or any of your follow-ups, didn't make sense to me whatsoever, as usual is the case with your posts.
"And even if I was, and I might not be surprised if I actually would be, the most I would conclude it that the most accurate is not always the most preferable."
"Accuracy" should be associated with a standard or benchmark (no pun intended). Otherwise, "accuracy" will have different meanings to different people.
(There is a standard for color accuracy of still picture cameras called Imatest. People use this to determine the color accuracy of a camera under review. The deviations from accuracy are ultimately displayed on a chart.)

I no longer use the term "accurate" in an audio assessment..... I might *think* it's accurate, but that does not mean it would perform well referenced to an established standard, if it were to exist.

I love the chart, it's really colorful...
And color is only a small part of the picture, pun intended. How about MTF, pincushion and barrel distortions, off-axis glare resistance, speed, noise, handling, size, weight, cost, auto focus speed and error, flexibility vs ease of use? And that's just a camera, how about the mapping of the gamut through your computer display error and service's printer?
But when push comes to shove, who cares? It's just like stereos, is accuracy in the look (or sound) or is accuracy in the emotional impact? If the latter then you're almost always better off with black and white prints.
