RE: Ever auditioned

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

That works for setting up systems, or even voicing a speaker; but not so good as a diagnostic. You need something to tell you where to look. As in: why do two preamps that measure the same for frequency response and output impedance have noticeably different low bass with the same power amp and speakers? No problem hearing the difference; but I'd like to know why. If I knew why, maybe I could fix the weak one.

I'm sort of driven in that respect. Engineers generally want to know "how", and physicists generally want to know "why". Since I started as a physics major, maybe that's why I try to understand the why. I did it at work for years, too.
