Your advice to speakers designers

Right. Solution people are always attacked from multiple directions, that's why we live in such a mess.

ambiguity can hide sarcasm or be an actual unintended ambiguity. which is why the sarcastic use it.

Actually, you don’t need a lot of absorption. You need low to mid bass absorption.

the rest is simple. Child’s play.

The first part (the bass) is phenomenally hard.

So difficult... that all known official measurement standards --ignore it. Pretty well -completely ignore it.

That's how bad it is.

inna,

I wasn’t being mean. Notice I was making a joke, and then asking you to explain further how you listen.

I agree imaging isn’t everything (it’s down my list of priorities, though I like it).

But obviously it’s usual for audiophiles - e.g. those who inhabit a forum like this - to sit and listen critically to music. It’s almost the feature that defines people in this hobby.  A careful placement of speakers relative to the room and listening position is also how one realizes the potential of most loudspeakers, timbrally as well.  So when someone says he doesn’t often sit down and listen that suggests you listen to them as background music and that seems rather unusual given the context of a forum like this.

I in no way begrudge your listening habits. After all, I spend plenty of time listening to just the speakers on my iphone and actually enjoy it. But I wouldn’t spend lots of money on a 2 channel system if I weren’t regularly paying real attention to it, which usually involves sitting in the room with the speakers.
