Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker?

Unsound,
It`s clear you have found an audio niche that satisfies your taste, High power amps with NFB mated to inefficient speakers, be happy. Others find this type of approach less than appealing and inferior. Thus they will prefer another pathway. We get it unsound, we really do get it.

Charles1dad, FYI, my amp has no global feedback, and my speakers are moderately sensitive. Furthermore, if I heard something that I liked better that didn't conform to those parameters, I wouldn't hesitate to change. It should also be clear that others here have found their niche' too. My posts are responses to their posts, though you haven't posted how you get their perspective, how you really get their perspective. Perhaps, it's because you've already bought into that perspective, and you'd rather read confirmation of your choice than conversation about other choices? Unlike some of them, my income isn't affected by those choices, and I don't declare that my preferences are factually better.

I was interested in coming back to this thread out of curiosity. Same stuff going on. Same individuals. I for one will make another momentary departure, once again, and spend my very minimum available, and, precious time, listening to my horn based system, bringing me great listening satisfaction. So to all the music listeners here, enjoy ! Till next time. Mr D

JohnK, What I posted was that I've heard horns sound shrill with both ss and tube amps, in response to Atmasphere's assertion that horns can sound shrill. I posted that headphones hardly sound like live music. If you consider that as an absolute, so be it. If any one cares to sincerely publicly assert otherwise, I'll modify my post. Your upset that those posts are "all untrue, highly subjective comments not based in any fact"? Really? Those are the examples your choosing to typify how I roll? Really? My posts are hardly based upon absolutism, in fact they are in response, yes, response to those who've made absolute claims. No wonder, your in wonderment, if you can't understand that. You once again assert that I am highly biased. I don't gain any monetary profit from my posts. You on the hand, more often than not post on those matters that afford you potential financial compensation, without the typical Audiogoner courtesy of disclosing your professional status. I'm highly biased? Ha

Thanks, Mr.D, that was really helpful.
