The subjectivity of speaker quality


Just for the fun it, while listening to your speakers with your favorite piece of music, cup your hands behind your ears and listen for a few minutes. I am blown away by the incredible change in the sound of the music when I do this. With this in mind it is no wonder that there likely will never be any real agreement on what speakers are the "best" sounding. Maybe all speaker reviewers should first reveal the size of their ears and a copy of their latest hearing test!! It's all fun.

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?"
Sorry Marakanetz. I was having a bad day and it was a brief moment of insanity, not to mention embarrasing.
