Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference?

But as to the Rivals, you are the first I have seen to call them "awful". Where did you hear them, which models, and with what ancillary gear?

I haven’t heard them nor am I apt too. I haven’t heard Border Patrol either nor am I apt too.

I could use DSP and EQ the crap out of them so perhaps awful is to strong a word, maybe extremely nonlinear is what I should have said.

Mind blowing. First your grasp or lack thereof of basic English. You misspelled "to" and "too" twice in a row. Zero for two. Or "too" in your world. Second, making such a bold statement about components you have never heard.

The use of “Too”, subtly changes the meaning.

I’ve never jumped off a skyscraper either but having a basic grasp of Newton’s laws I can make a guess what would happen if I did. I don’t understand how anyone can’t look at speaker measurements and the components they are made from and get a pretty good idea what they will sound like. Is that to bold a statement?

Volti Razz?????? LOL  Really

The answer is very simple, people think in different ways. My partner is literally a genius, her tests in verbal intelligence are way up there. She got a full scholarship to Brown University, PhD… two Masters degrees. Every time she walks out the door she walks in the opposite direction of the car… gets lost every where. She couldn’t throw a 3D chart into her mind an flip it around if her life depended on it. I can, easily.

My former boss of $10 billion company could not visualize a simple two dimensional x - y chart. But put a fine print table of hundreds numbers in front of him and within about three seconds he would want to know why one number was off by two cents.

Different people visualize and process information differently.
