RE: What to make of the Audio Science Review of the Magnepan LRS ?

I believe it was Nelson Pass that said something like, the human ear is not a microphone and the brain is not a tape recorder. He among many others recognized early on that measured performance of certain specs (remember the Japanese mass market THD amplifier war of the '70s?) and subjective listening experiences were often poorly correlated.

Which also reminds me of the discussion here a few years ago of the hotly debated reluctance of Magnepan to allow Stereophile Magazine to do a full review of their products. Per their policy that would require measurements, and as I recall John Atkinson and Wendell Diller could not agree on the methodology involved in how that would be done.
