Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...

Apparently, there is an inverse relationship between being aggressively ugly, and sonic performance?

subjectivist?
lack of experience?
i also look bad in shorts
but most of us do
I don't let that bother me

Great speaker system but for midfield listening I would say the DD8C has an advantage. Measures flat to 17hz in my room on their own. In any case this is the future. Like it or not.

The vast majority of people agree that low distortion, flat and extended frequency response is best.

That's silly. I don't think the vast majority of people even know what "frequency response" is.

Many people also think "flat response" is best because the term sounds good. Fact is, any significant exposure to real, unamplified live music will tell you there is no correlation between "flat response" and "real."
