What kind of listener are you?

Interesting!

Before auditioning a speaker at one of the dealers I visited in my search for a new pair of speakers, the salesman asked me if I preferred "analytic" or "musical" speakers.  For me the choice was "musical".

When I've auditioned some of those "analytic" speakers, they just don't seem to match up with my hearing, sound somewhat "harsh" to me.  Though these are very well engineered and crafted, I can't listen for long, before fatigue sets in.

What kind of listener are you? I'm an All-Arounder: Equal parts Analytical, Thrill, and Feeling  ... This is a very useful breakdown of a very complex subject, listening.

I don't think the subject is complex at all. On the contrary, I think the practice of listening is quite simple indeed. 

I’m not a good listener. 😬

Im a great listener.

Dealers approaches are all over the map. Given those options I would probably make the same choice, even though musical to me is a movie with a lot of songs in it.
