Good point, chayro. It's hard to believe that those who in good faith long for "transparency" or "musician's intent" go to many concerts, where the sound is different in every hall and in every seat within that hall, just as it is different in every listening room. The obsession or belief in the sanctity of an artist's "intent" has been largely discredited (or despaired of answering) in literature, and to a lesser extent in drama and art--music seems lagging behind. Many audiophiles (on this one and only this one) topic seem still to be struggling at the gate.
Are warm or colored speakers disrespectful of musicians/producer/engineers?
Sure, they may be pleasing to the ear, but don't non-transparent speakers (and other gear) represent presumptive editing--across the board, regardless of the musicians' intent?
Just a provocative thought.
Let's be nice to each other if this thread takes off.
