Does listening to pink noise bring you emotional reward?You're saying we should NOT trust our ears? That we should choose the component that sounds NOT as good to us because some tin-eared idiot like the late Julian Hersch (sp?) says it measures well? Not a chance.
Someone above commented that most high-end speaker systems are seriously flawed. I'd say the MOST SPEAKERS SYSTEMS are seriously flawed. But does that stop me from using speakers in my music-reproduction system? No. My task is to find the one with the set of compromises that sounds best TO ME in MY room. How do YOU choose equipment?
Most of us read lots of opinions on equipment. Many (notice I didn't say 'most') of us are careful when comparing equipment, setting levels carefully, using highly familiar sources, returning the old equipment to the system to verify changes, etc. Some of us even do blind testing! But I believe that virtually all of us eventually choose the pieces that sound best TO US. Choosing the other simply creates a system that sounds worse and worse the more it-tests-well pieces of equipment are added.
