HiFi vs MidFi

Seems pretty objective and scientific. 😜🥴

*************
You mean like Stereophile speaker reviews past 50 years.

You mean like Stereophile speaker reviews past 50 years.

Actually, Stereophile performs a series of measurements on every speaker that gets reviewed. The text of the review can be taken with a grain of salt. The measurements tell a lot. The measurements are objective and scientific both. I would love to see Frankenstein measured to see how it performs. You know, frequency response, cabinet resonance, spectral decay, off axis response, impulse response. To paraphrase a famous line, you wouldn't be able to handle the truth.😢

you wouldn't be able to handle the truth.😢

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeah 
Jacks best line ever, 

The real truth is. most audiophiles /DIYers don't take measurements all that seriously.
I just learned how to read a  fq/db graph.
Tells somethings but only hints at how the speaker ** might perform*.
What is most important, Stereophile and Audiophiles never discuss ina  speakers  construct, TYPE MATERIAL OF CONE (underscore) , StereoP only makes a passing comment, So what do they KNOW. nada
+ Type magnet + size magnet + db sens.
These 4 items are  super critcal and determine how  a  speaker performs.
Paper
paper composite
Carbon Fiber
Aluminum

Magnesium.
The last material is the only cone I consider. 
Tweeters. well take your pick. 

Frankenstein can not be measured at Mr Carlson's lab. 
Won;'t fly,,, He;';ll take 1 look at it and say
**what is THIS? some kind of joke**\
So lets not go there. 
Its a  mix mash of sorts.
And just wait til I add in a  DLVX6. WBer 3 way + Thors.
My hunch is, a  winner.
There is not one speaker at any price  that even holds my interest.
Especially not the Zu's. 

This ain't 1970 , this is 2121, soon 2022.
The Acoustic Research/Advents were the bang of that era. 
Not any longer. 
The WBer has resurrected from the land of the dead. 
Frankensteins blood is flowing, he has breath. 

Have you ever in your life heard superior midrange?

Who is Mr. Carlson?

At least you finally got something right.

This ain't 1970 , this is 2121, soon 2022.

So why are you posting a video of a speaker made in 1929 as an example? I am not impressed with that driver. If you can hear AT ALL, you will note how badly the tonal balance changes once you are more than about 10 degrees off axis. It becomes immediately eliminated as a possibility for me.

You double talk better than ANY politician. You hate open baffle, yet promote a video of a speaker playing while not mounted to any baffle.

Frankensteins blood is flowing, he has BAD breath

.I fixed it for you.   

Tells somethings but only hints at how the speaker ** might perform*.

No, measurements tell you how speakers objectively perform in comparison with other speakers. They are invaluable for culling what is out there for what one may want to audition. You just need to understand what the measurement tells you. Listening will be the ultimate decider every time, but just ignoring available measurements is plain old dumb. 

Have you ever in your life heard superior midrange?

I thought you hated paper cones. That is what that is, in case you didn't notice. More double talk.

No I said, emphatically
I hate paper/carbon in MIDWOOFERs, 
= upper bass.low midrange. 
The 1929 Colotura has paper, but it is only performing midrange.
As for its  upper bass resonances I have no idea. 
Point is
wayyy back in 1929 we had superior midrange/vocals.
Life like vocals/mids.
Measurments only tell half the story
Audiophiles can't read graphs and such. The only thig they are interested in is how it sounds.
My WBers have zero distortion = zero fatigue.
This is a  measurable fact.

Midwoofers and tweeters are both flawed 
1 in the upper range, the other in the lower range.
The 2 can not meet with a  seamless  STRESS FREE   2khz-3khz  bands.
This 1khz band is like  THE most critical bandwidth.

This is a  evident experienced fact.
If you and others wish to argue and deny, feel free.
