The "measure" of this thread is quickly approaching zero. 🤣
I Am Tired of Bogus Measurements
My expensive shoes have measurements but it doesn’t matter, all I want to know is will they fit. My expensive new suit has measurements but it doesn’t matter, all I want to know is will my expensive new shoes match.
The people being misled by measruements aren’t being led my manufacturers, they are being misled by reviewers. Idiotic rankings of digital gear based on measurements outside the range of human hearing. Cancelling entire brands who put out features customers actually want as they sell to humans, not bats. The worst of these websites will rant about their own superior $$$ equipment but mot even one person will ever use speakers in a klippel matchine, they actually put them in a room! The horror. The cancelling of brands, the talking down to the customers, is bogus.
You need to measure what matters! Are the customers actually happy? Is the warranty honored? Most importantly is their an in home audition period?
I don’t need someone to tell me if I could or should like a product. My room is not a test bench, or a klippel machine. Who cares what the component measures by itself because unless its a clock radio I’ll never use it by itself, I have to interconnect it in a "system" with "high quality" cables, (as in all cables are not the same).
If you want to measure something measure how your personal system of curated components interact with your room. That’s it. The rest of the stuff you could forget because these days if a brand overpromises and under delivers they will be following a formula for losing money, an no company likes that.

It feels like sour grapes to me @bigtwin |
@thespeakerdude Just trying to inject a little humor into a thread that has lost it's way. Clearly there are two or three camps when it comes to measurements. I would guess that anyone on this forum is into serious hi fi and knows something about putting a system together. Some members more than others. I only profess to be a music lover and don't think I've ever used the title Audiophile. Funny how adamant some members can be when discussing a particular subject. Been guilty a few times myself. But on this subject, and I see there are at least two other measurement threads on the go right now, it's been fully discussed and dissected in the first dozen or so posts. We all get it. Don't think anyone has changed sides yet? Bottom line is this. If you like measurements, use them, and if you don't, then ignore them. Now everyone go outside and enjoy some fresh air. 😁 |
@bigtwin how do you even like or dislike measurements? That is like saying I like or don't like 1+1=2. I get your point though, I just find all the vitriol unfounded, but perhaps it is founded in lack of understanding or understanding, but being too invested in being right? |
