You're the last person here that I'd call a simple minded idiot, Bob. The "speaker as venue" concept is an interesting one to ponder; after "playing around" in the audio world for the last fifty years, one tenet has not changed: the most significant change (i.e. hopefully improvement)one can make in a system is via speakers. Of course, there will be the obligatory naysayers.

I agree with your comment, "The "speaker as venue" concept is an interesting one to ponder." But I guess I need to change my screen name to "obligatory naysayer."
We both have about the same years in this hobby/passion/addiction, etc. I used to believe that the speakers were the most important link in the chain. Now I believe that the most important link is at the other end: the source. Why? Simply this: What do you think you would hear with the finest equipment possible (whatever you think that is) playing a scratched 78 rpm record?

Yes indeed, playing a scratched 78 rpm record as "source" would make whatever system sound horrible to most people including me. Of course, there are always exceptions such as the throwback who actually prefers and enjoys the sound of scratched 78's especially through hand cranked gramophones. All sensible things considered (including ruling out poor recordings of all formats), I was attempting to be reasonable and your point is well taken nonetheless.
