The subjectivity of speaker quality

For the record, they were really called "Serious Listeners."

I once thought about marketing something like this called "Golden Ears," (appropriartely spray-painted, of course). Dave

I suspect that this guy "Frankenochio" with a 4' high X 8' long woodie extended to his speakers wouldn't need any help. It might be most uncomfortable. Was this a contraption or a contaceptive? Some sort of overly ambitious prostethic? On the other hand, he did have this thing right up aginst his lips. Oh my! I'm so confused! I no longer want this picture! This whole thing has become very disturbing!

Looks like a horn enclosure experiment on "the other end"...
Here comes a bizzare tweak in mind...:-)

Every ear has a unique sonic signature. Some ears are more musical than others. Ears that have a bell shaped cavity are said to be "tubed" whereas narrow cavities are of a solid state nature. Ears that stick out are described as dipolar, whereas flat ears are referred to as boxed. Ears with short lobes are prone to low frequency roll-off, but ears with long lobes sometimes encounter a ground loop hum. Dirty ears can only hear in mono; the cleanest ears can hear surround sound. If you have perfect hearing than your ears are said to be vinyl and golden; if you use a hearing aid then your ears have been digitized and you will forever changing cables and power cords. Finally, asymmetrical ears can reverse polarity.

My wife is dumbfounded at how particular I am about the quality of my audio and how much time I spend in the hobby. She says, "Why the hell are you so engrossed in your music and system, when I KNOW you're deaf as a rock ... You never half of what I say!" To which I obviously replied, "Huh?"
