Actually, the closest I have seen is > Stereophile measurements of two speaker systems in the same room, same ancillary equipment, etc.; one had a miniscule 'dip' in the midrange compared to the other. John A. speculated (and admitted it was only that) that this midrange dip resulted in a more recessed-sounding soundstage.
John has measured more speakers than about anyone in the world, and speakers measure more differently in FR, impulse response, dispersion, impedance, phase shift, and every other parameter there is (compared to say modern SS power amps). IF anyone could 'see' a pattern linking measurements with perceived soundstage depth, palpability, etc., one would thnk it would be him. He has stated in broad terms about measurements 'tending' to support a certain sonic characteristic, but a definitive measurement-characteristic link? Again, if there was one, he would be the one to define it. -- Rick58 Bits: Azur 840C, Oppo 980H, SB Touch; Squiggles: Thorens TD-145 + Denon DL160; Pre-Heater: McIntosh C220; Heaters: Bottlehead Paramount 300B; Wavemakers: Triangle Titus, NHT SubOne ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rick58's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42940 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85681 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
