you can blindfold me and i will<<

I think a gag is a better idea than a blindfold

And really, who cares if you can do this? It proves nothing.

Give it a rest.

To audiofeil's point - it is all about preferences in this hobby.

No real breakthroughs or advancements apart from capacitors with lower harmonics and slightly faster settling woofers. Some manufacturers finally decided the shape of the cabinet was important enough to dictate design and that was known in the 1950s.

The new diamond tweeters have low harmonics but slow rise and settling time. JM Labs Beryllium now have higher frequency extension but no other improvements or differences over previous Yamaha beryllium designs of the 1970s, as the measurements reflect in addition to listening.

Exactly - the hobby is nothing more than fashion or fad.

timbre is most important to me and i feel panels do a better job.

If you highly value timbre in a speaker design, you really need to listen to the Audiokinesis Jazz Modules or Dream Maker speakers. You don't have to wait for CES to hear them either. I own the Jazz Modules and you're welcome to come by for a listen anytime.
