My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers

To me, revealing is not a problem. It is a good thing that  just has to be done right.

There is that old saying though.....too much of anything.....

"There is that old saying though.....too much of anything..... "    Hence: the article link I posted.      

Sounds like a lot of audiophiles are frustrated having not achieved success in getting that revealing speaker, being bought or homemade, so they attribute it to other factors, which is a mistake. It’s a variation on The Fox and the Sour Grapes.

You read the thread a bit too swiftly..... :)

I was distinguishing "revealing" and "resolving" because the most resolving speakers in the world will reveal some needing controls in the 3 embeddings and not only defects in the recording source materials....

What you call "other factors", meaning non important one, because you are being too carried away by the hope to have bought the best speakers you can (upgrade urge to solution a complex audio problem or evacuate it under the wished brand so called ideal product) are the most important factors in audio experience, not only the ideal design of a pair of speakers.... Buying better gear does not implicate that they would be correctly embedded by the magical property of the speakers design........

But i dont doubt that in a way or in another, your future "resolving" speakers will "reveal " to you the defects needed to be adress in your 3 embeddings and not only from your source recordings cd or vinyl....


And to design a "resolving" speakers even the best one is also and always a trade-off....

Audio, being an empirical endeavour, and not reducible to electronic design, electric engineering, or acoustical engineering,or mechanical engineering, rather encompassing all that with our specific ears history, is the art of trade-off....

Simple ready made solutions to all audio problems dont exist except for the marketing companies that sell them .... It is not my road..... :)

My best to you from a fox who has eaten already no so sour grapes of his own.... :)

Shunghite makes everything better.  But can I sprinkle it on my cornflakes?

Try to be more subtle my friend.... Sarcasm is an art.....You seems to want to be a professional entertainer but it is a bit boring....Others perhaps like that, call for a vote, and if you win, i will go..... :)

Myself i am a bit too serious then i apologize to you.... But i dont like laughing at the expanse of others.... I prefer discussions....

My best to you.....
