This is a bit of circular reasoning what to listen to if it is transparent ? You can set up an an abx to a known ref to make sure you can't hear it or do a null test with before and after listening . You can even do that with power amps you divide the output-voltage down with resistors and level match with the input compare both in abx with another power amp and speakers (the amp under test drives a load) And I do think even makers of transparent stuff must do listening test just to verify that no gremlins are sneaking into the design process . But their be no tweaking of prat or midrange bloom ar micro-details these are all in the recording (or not). This is weird some give hifi equipment all kinds of emotional bias and think they are part of the content . When we buy a TV we look at the color rendering and resolution and a lot of other tech parameters like clouding on big lcd's . Not if the starving third world children on the news looks sadder or if the girls looks prettier or if a play looks more dramatic we accept that this is the content speaking to us ? the window is not the view. An ? they are sure stuck in the past they are still building those tarted up snell replicas as speakers ? I had the snell-E in some variant 22 years ago it was ok back then not very neutral a bit boxy sounding but a fun speaker lively nothing I would chose today -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
