Nowhere did I say that we should only take into account "objective" factors, those that we can measure, and disregard the "subjective" factors, like musicality and having a pleasing sound. If I don't like the sound of certain speakers, sorry but I won't buy them. Its all about the music, after all. That said, high-fi gear is the brain child of engineers. Some factors, like staging, can me measured, up to a certain point. Or at least engineers can try to explain, in scientific terms, why certain speakers give us the illusion of being at a live concert, and why certain other speakers don't give us that illusion. Siegfried Linkwitz has interesting things to say about that topic and it would seem that his Orion open baffle speakers are hard to beat in terms of staging. -- Nostromo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33368 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
