You're right, measurements are a good gauge. Unfortunately, the end result of music is not based on measurement alone, and as I mentioned, majority of people don't care and are clueless. And I guess that's one of the reasons the audiophile dictionary came about ? Rather than educate people to talk in frequncy ranges ? And the figures alone mean they are a measurement, so there is really no point talking about exact figures if it's not measured with the proper tools, unless one states it in a range of frequencies or an appproximate.
Anyway, we are back to subjective opinions. In the example above, one says "a system is sibilant" and Bob says "a peak at the 8Khz to 12Khz region, but is in fact accurate". It still boils down to what one hears and what one prefers, which Bob also pointed out ... it may be accurate to one, and another thinks it's a distortion. Like tube amps can have so many measured distortions, but they can still output very nice music. Probably inaccurate by measurement standards, but I'm sure beguiling to many and considered as "real-sounding, accurate".Can't please everyone really, and as a Naimie, I've learned to be more broad-minded about this, especially because of the cliche "you either like it or not". We respect the opinion of others ... and they can slam Naim any way they like ... :-)
