In Reply to: Is it a crime to use speaker measurements to decide what speakers to audition before you start enjoying the music? posted by Richard BassNut Greene on February 20, 2007 at 07:09:30:
After a period of time, on all the various audio forums. Patterns begin to emerge. Not necessarily clear in the beginning. But after time they can be divined. I.E. some people enjoy their hifi's, and listening to music, more than others. And ..... some general types of equipment could even be associated with those patterns. Which doesn't have a single foogin thing to do with Sterophile, measurements, audio equipment dealers, or how ever "many speaker brands and models" dance on the head of a pin.After going S.E.T. some eight or nine years ago, and then resultantly looking at measurements of commercial loudspeakers. I was steered only to fields of manure. I will not tread those fields again. I've built my own speakers the last five or so years, and don't anticipate any change in that m.o. during my lifetime.
From a previous post of mine, in High Efficiency: "Sometimes I'm so overwhelmed with the rich buttery sound carrying the music aloft, I exclaim to no one: uh huh .... that's right, I own the damn frequency!"
C'ya-bye :-)
