Please re-read your question.

First,

What EXACT question did you ask?

I believe that I responded your specific question thoroughly.

First, my intial query had NOTHING to to with the quality of sound produced by the InfiniCap. This is primarily because I have NOT heard them. I have experienced other capacitors and found wonderful improvements over the garden variety Sonic/Axon/Bennic capacitors. I have no problem with the Infinicap souding better. I am certain that it does.

I will certainly allow that there are speakers that sound ACCURATE and there are speakers that sound MUSICAL. Frankly, I don't know how Brian's speakers sound. I will admit to having appreciation for a musical sound, but prefer an accurate one. I will also convey that the response curves, crossover components, driver motor, driver cone, cabinet (etc etc) do have audible impact. I have some experience with these things, and do believe that the GENERAL characteristics of a speaker can be obtained by looking at the parts. I will certainly agree that the sum of those parts can only be experienced when experienced as a whole - in a the listening room. The parts do, nonetheless have a very tangible impact on the sound, and generalizations can be made. A good example would be a Monitor Audio 9 and a Tannoy Churchill. I bet a layperson could figure this one out from the pictures with a fair degree of success.

I believe your analogy of the floor plans for a house bears some significance here. Not knowing anything about the floor plan will provide complete ignorance about how it will feel when you walk through the front door.

I prefer to know something. The frequency plot does have an impact, as does the distortion plot.

I have not spent years with my computer attached to a gated time response, but have spent a little time and found it quite revealing. it is quite possible for even me (I don't consider myself to have a golden ear) to hear slightly significant dips and peaks in the response. They do affect the subjective character of the speaker.

Have you done any measuring/designing?

Dave
