LOL! You should get your facts straight . . .

"Take note - they are tested not for FR or any other irregularities"

You should actually check this. They would not have been able to determine whether the measured results correlated with the listener preferences--and they did! Maybe you should check them out on the link below. I'll make it easy for you: click on Slide 28.

Now, when you do subjective preference tests, the results will tell you, in your own words, "what sounds better subjectively, for listener's preferences in other words."

It's the same with testing in mono vs. testing in stereo. Sean Olive and Floyd Toole are among the world's greatest experts on the subject of speaker testing. According to them, mono testing works better.

In your remarks about your original post, you mention "supposed deficiencies of stereo reproduction," without listing them clearly.

-For example, there is no center channel in two channel stereo, period, so the writer is obviously correct.

-As to comparisons of width of sweet spots, I haven't heard his multi-channel system, so I cannot speak from my own experience which is better, though that potential exists with multi-channel. For that matter, you don't profess to have heard his system, either.

-The same goes for the sense of "a sense of envelopment and spaciousness" with his system vs. two channel stereo. You haven't heard his system, either.

"would you call the person who made those arguments QUALIFIED to talk on the subject of high-quality sound reproduction?"

I'm pretty sure he's more qualified than you are since you don't even seem to understand he said. The quotation in your first post is hardly sufficient to judge how much the author "QUALIFIED to talk on the subject of high-quality sound reproduction?" However, what he says seems to me to correct.

His overall qualifications in that field depend on those things you consider to be straying, that is, Sean Olive's "credentials and body of work," both of which are beyond reproach.
