RE: Woe is you, right?

On the other hand, I never had any particular desire to have dinner with Dr. West of Soundlab. Is he a gracious host? A man of wide culture? A scintillating conversationalist?

Yeah, so did I. But what is available? There's the rub. There are lots of speakers that you and your folks with trusted ears never heard, some never even heard of, so however you try to put it, a lot of speakers are screened out, selected out, by various circumstances over which you had no control.

Actually, a good set of speaker measurements from the NRC (Soundstage) or Stereophile can be a very useful tool, not the only one, in deciding which speaker to screen out and which speaker to audition

For example, your prejudices about little boxes would keep you from auditioning the superb Ethera Vitae. But if anyone is interested, I have linked to some NRC measurement results.
