lhasaguy263 posts07-06-2021 7:51amI have read perhaps 30% of this thread, so excuse me if this post is redundant. I would like to suggest that science clearly has an effect that is demonstrable in many ways. However, the complexity that cannot be quantified and is one of the primary drivers of diverse opinions cannot be measured.
Each individual hears things differently due to having ears that have different abilities to process the signals being received. This is then assimilated by the brain, a vastly complex organ whereby two people can listen to the same thing and react very different.y to the same input. Implicit to the brains though created I. Response to the sound received are psychological components with regard to a variety of biases.
This might partially explain why some like horns, others enjoy planar speakers and yet others enjoy enclosed box speakers. The same is true for all components and the complexities synergy among those components.
Science can create better and better resolution, yet what sounds “best” is beyond anyone’s ability to create an element that spunds “Best” to everyone. Thus, we have the never ending arguments (to the joy of this forum) as to why their preference is better than yours.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aint buying any of your ideas.
This sounds so so cliche, Just a sweet sounding truism which many here might well believe.
Only in Jungian psychology is The Individual is the most critical factor.
In speaker fidelity, no such thing as each his own.
This fallacy reduces true high fidelity down to never becomming defined and understood as a objective fact , which is opposed to subjective faulty, biased opinion.
Science might tell us all the specs in graphs, measurements, other baloney to lead us astray...
In the end only the astute, qualified, highly sensitive judgement can say how the speaker really truthfully sounds.
By what standard shall we use?
That of the 1920’s Field Coils
These designs set the standards, and so we employ wide band as the judge against which all other speakers are rated.
= Xover designs fail miserably due to IN-Efficiency.
By low sensitivity they are crippled from voicing true bonifide high fidelity.
There is no such thing as to ecah his own tastes.
Thats baloney
Obviously you , among most here on audiogon, have never in your life heard a true high sensitivity driver.
Measurments can not tell how how a speaker will sound, The only most important spec is the sensitivity rating.
This is the only spec that can give us some inkiling of a idea how the speaker responds to the source energy.
Low sensitivity = distortion,
High sensitivity = true high fidelity.
Wide band/High sensitivity is The Bench mark against which all other designs are judged.
These wide band/full range are the speakers which define what is and is not high fidelity.
