In Reply to: Richard, it isn't about Cheney, it's about you. posted by robert young on February 21, 2007 at 11:52:06:
There is no such thing as a friendly disagreement with Cheney because he will not compromise and will instantly revert to the "I'm an expert so I must be right" logical falacy (WHICH HAS A FANCY lATIN NAME I CAN NEVER REMEMBER).Cheney said he could use digital correction to make a speaker measure perfect but it didn't sound good. Then he gave one example of one speaker that measured well anechoically but didn't sound good to his ears in one particular room at a show.
Risch claimed measurements are too misleading for the common audiophile.
Not one of these "experts" addressed my main point that measurements can help us locate speakers worthy of an audition when there is not enough time to audition every speaker for sale ... and when nearly every review (text) seems positive.
I never said speaker measurements were even close to being perfect ... but that doesn't mean they are worthless,as Cheney and Risch would have us believe.
Now get lost, or add some audio content to this thread instead of instigatin'.
