This is very simple , The High -End speakers must to be got good sound (using you hearing ability and must got good measurements ( No big wide dips ets) . If The measurement is bad and you like the sound . Something wrong with you, but if measurements is good sound some time lifeless , becouse Speakers company try to flattering responce using very complicate crossovers with a lot capacitors , unductors , killing the sound, One time i check Canton High End , nice looking and big Ls, Responce was very flat , but sound was bad
What if a high end speaker measures really badly?
You know, it's true that I feel listening is more important than measurements and that it's generally difficult to really tie together measurements with pleasure. Below 0.05% THD do I care? No I do not. I really don't care. The number tells me nothing about whether I'd like the amp more or not anymore.
In this one memorable review for the Alta Audio Adam speaker, I really felt shivers go up my spine when I looked at the measurements, especially at ~$20kUSD. This looks like an absolute hot mess. Does it sound this bad though? I certainly don't have the $20K to test that out myself. What do you all think?

@helomech For sure…. i don’t even see much evidence of level matching…. or a basic understanding of the noise floor of the listening room. But we can certainly model some good behaviors and practices…best to you in music |
