"In other words, you have no example of 2 items measuring the same but sounding different. Ok, that's what I thought."You missed it. JH is the God of you science types. He, dead now, for years claimed that amps that measures the same, sound the same. On Peter's show he admitted that the he did not pay attention to the "small differences" admitting they exist but beyond his scope.
So, think again.
"My system has an effect on *your* crossover and speaker design? Interesting."
And what does my system have to do with anything? We were not talking about my system, were we?What does my system have to do with systems that measure the same sounding the same?
Follow Ups:
Tre - You missed it.Missed what? I still see no example being offered, by you, of 2 components measuring the same but sounding different. Can you cite this real life example, or did you simply imagine it?
Tre - JH is the God of you science types.
He is? Wow, I wish I knew that, being agnostic and all. So if I'm a "science type", does that make you a "non-science" type? "anti-science" type? "Selective science type"? Do you drive a car? Fly in planes? Use a computer?
Hmmmm.
He, dead now, for years claimed that amps that measures the same, sound the same. On Peter's show he admitted that the he did not pay attention to the "small differences" admitting they exist but beyond his scope.I'm not quite sure what this has to do with you presenting 2 components that measure the same but sound different. Again, is this something you read, or do can you cite a real example for scrutiny?
Tre - And what does my system have to do with anything? We were not talking about my system, were we?
What does my system have to do with systems that measure the same sounding the same?Nothing. I saw your speakers on your website and asked the following:
AJ - BTW, your site has no mention of the XO details for your JBL/Morel. Can you shed some light on this? What XO frequency for the Tweeter/mid. I can't see the Morel going low enough to match the directivity of the mid unless output levels were severely restricted.
A 5" diameter cone should be getting directional about 900hz or so.
Any off axis measurements?I'm a speaker builder and was interested. Perhaps you found the questions offensive or they somehow made you uncomfortable? My apologies. No offense intended, just curiosity. Nice drivers overall IMHO, but XO is the glue that holds it all together.
cheers,
AJ

Can you show me two amplifiers that are different but measure the same (that is, no differences that would account for them sounding different) and sound the same?I'll make it easier. Can you show me two amplifiers that sound the same?

I have heard differences between CD players that measure, for all intent and purposes, the same.

So tell me about the JBL 2118. I'm not a speaker guy but the JBL seems to act like a big tweeter. Can you elaborate? (I'm asking you to tell me what I'm saying) Thanks.

Please show the math for speaker beaming. I understand that once the wave length is shorter than the diameter of the cone beaming will occur. I'm sure there is more to it than that. Thanks._________________________________________________________________
I'm an engineer who understands that, when it comes to audio, we still don't know what to measure.

"Still Working the Problem"
I'm an engineer who understands that, when it comes to audio, we still don't know what to measure.Many times a product measures well and is considered done. Trained listeners observe that it sounds like crap. Those guys go back to the drawing board and lo and behold, they "find" something they ignored before to explain the observations.
