"He adds to the rift... rather than seeking to bridge it." Hmm...

Pierre Sprey is a highly-degreed (PhD. x 2) mathematician and systems analyst whose words on certain military high-tech items are accepted more-or-less as gospel. He's even been profiled in the Washington Post (see URL). Why then should his discoveries in audio (mere audio) be dismissed so blithely because they fail to bridge some sort of gap?

If Pierre is confident of his findings (he is!) and proud of them as well (ditto!) hasn't he every right to assert their effectiveness? Anyway who said the "objectivists" have a leg to stand on here, face to face with a highly-trained scientist like Pierre Sprey? From the article:

He left the Pentagon in 1986, he said, because "it became increasingly obvious that the atmosphere at the Pentagon was such that it would be impossible to build another honest aircraft."

His position on audio would be that, given the howls of outrage that greet his "tweaky" procedures and products, that it's impossible for commercial purveyors to build an honest audio system.
