@amir_asr How much money do you make from donations to your site or donations you request on every review you post? Interesting you leave that out. You won’t answer because you don’t monetize anything and you don’t need money living in a multimillion dollar waterfront home.
Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?
It’s easy to make snide remarks like “yes- I do the opposite of what he says.” And in some respects I agree, but if you do that, this is just going to be taken down. So I’m asking a serious question. Has ASR actually changed your opinion on anything? For me, I would say 2 things. I am a conservatory-trained musician and I do trust my ears. But ASR has reminded me to double check my opinions on a piece of gear to make sure I’m not imagining improvements. Not to get into double blind testing, but just to keep in mind that the brain can be fooled and make doubly sure that I’m hearing what I think I’m hearing. The second is power conditioning. I went from an expensive box back to my wiremold and I really don’t think I can hear a difference. I think that now that I understand the engineering behind AC use in an audio component, I am not convinced that power conditioning affects the component output. I think.
So please resist the urge to pile on. I think this could be a worthwhile discussion if that’s possible anymore. I hope it is.

Amir, I don't care how you make your money. I for one do think you do it for the intellectual challenge and a sense of being honest and logical. For good, not evil. :) That being said... This is a highly specialized speaker that has poor general purpose. People fall in love with its spatial qualities due to dipole design and tall image it provides. So not surprised you speak as if it is perfect. But perfect it is not. Not remotely so.
I never said the LRS was perfect. It IS a perfect example of where measurements fail. And again, you measured the speakers first and THEN listened? Putting the cart before the horse and insuring your measurement philosophy bias. So not only are measurements next to useless to determine how things sound but going by your biased limited view of a great speaker based on measurements could actually turn curious audiophiles away from a wonderful SOUNDING speaker. So in fact, rather than doing a service here, you are doing a disservice. And it’s amazing how I spoke all this truth without any impressive looking charts. And now I’m left wondering even about cables........the one simple? thing that might make sense.

@ossicle2brain : you don’t get it do you? If it measures bad it sounds bad. No need to listen. Period. 🤦♂️
Do what I do. Pick what Amir measures bad. Avoid like a plague what Amir measures good. It works like a charm. Every single time. |
