RE: Ever auditioned

Sadly, I'm at the point, at 78.5, that my hearing is starting to go off in the highs. I'm a long ways from needing a hearing aid; but the upper treble is fading away.

Those were simply impressions from the perspective of a teenager. :)

Today, I most appreciate their midrange focus, clarity, ability to project a wide and deep soundstage and render wide dynamics especially at the low end of the spectrum.

In one of those situations where classic measurements don't tell me anything...

Amen!

A lot of the test methods from the 30's and 40's are like that - they rely on cleverness as a substitute for measurements using precise instruments.

Or, simply the observations of those who are very familiar with the sound of live, unamplified music.
