I had originally thought this was an empirical approach, using human subjects, to determine experimentally what "characteristics" of sound they found enjoyable and then to build these characteristics into loudspeakers. But now, after a very little reading on the subject, it seems that this is another objectivist, measurement-based, approach to jam "linearity" down our throats as "what's best" for everyone. |

Both linearity and imagery are important during the playback process. |

or heard a bad musician or heard an instrument that was out of tune? there is still a characteristically live component to the sound despite those shortcomings. My wife is a professor at a local college where there are many opportunities to experience live music. Some is quite good - I thoroughly enjoyed a concert by the Katona Twins where I was seated not twenty feet from them. The only reinforcement was a small acoustic shell. Superb. I've also heard a range of student players play there. While the performance ability isn't symphony level quality - the sound experience itself is nevertheless that of live, unamplified music. Talent alone is not a critical factor in perceiving the aspects of the live sound experience one hears. |

That sums it up nicely - to each his own! |

That was my original understanding on the basis of limited reading. |

Well... Most Audiophiles ARE Psycho-acoustics. nt, posted on December 2, 2016 at 08:23:49 | |

so speaking of music and sound quality, what do you prefer? Clearly stated here several days ago. I have also spoken about audio show quality here. I'll be happy to repeat anything else I've posted if necessary. |

Not to mention compression and EQ'ing kills any realism ... |
