The fact that one can audition as many different speakers as one cares to seek out and listen to is, in the act itself, "custom tuning" the speakers to your ears. The eyeglasses analogy is only partly relevant; just as no two people have identical vision, no two persons have identical hearing. Further, with the glasses, there is not an infinite number of ways to configure the lenses (the design parameters reside among a limited range of "plus" and "minus" values) just as there are not an infinite number of ways to design a speaker; the design must be developed from an existing finite set of crossover parts. The notion of a "deep state" of speaker manufacturers is just another deep state of confusion.
Oppression within the speaker industry and how it can be stopped?
As we all know, speaker companies have been oppressing us audiophiles for a very long time. The question is how it can be stopped?
The insistence on ''flat as pancake'' response is only one example of this. Some companies offer a bit of a dip in the mids. But as we all know, if we weren't being oppressed we could CHOOSE whatever response we liked.
The so called linkwitz riley 24db crossover and variations thereof is an evil device which has been going on for a long time in the speaker business.
Butterworth 12db vilified as dip at crossover. QB3 BB4 ports. constant directivity. The list goes on and on.
I have even attended speaker demos where I was prohibited from playing my own choice of music cds that I'd brought along.
The wicked speaker industry must be stopped before its too late. We must demand maximum freedom of choice before THEY bully us into utter submission.
