They have a lot to do with what you hear. Raise them up high enough, you'll hear them.
If you're referring to Electrophonic brown goods gear, sure. Which is what I started with in 1970 as a kid. ;)
The tests performed by the "deceitful sorcerer", however, have little to do with what you actually hear with high end gear.
Lower them anymore and it really doesn't matter.
Once again, we agree.
What my experience tells me, however, is those who pursue extreme levels on paper compromise overall sound quality in the real world. Switchers and op amp based devices are not yet ready for prime time in the highest quality systems.
