I had originally thought this was an empirical approach, using human subjects, to determine experimentally what "characteristics" of sound they found enjoyable and then to build these characteristics into loudspeakers. But now, after a very little reading on the subject, it seems that this is another objectivist, measurement-based, approach to jam "linearity" down our throats as "what's best" for everyone.
