Cool post Audiokinesis!

Audio-K... this is the old LIAR concept (Listen In Another Room). As an esl owner I have found this to be very effective (have used it over the years with ribbon designs as well). Never really thought about *why* it works, though. Good post and good explanation.

You calling me a LIAR?? Well, if you are, I say it takes one to know one! ;-)

Seriously, thanks for your kind words, Jim. And you too, 90493m.

Another test I find useful in predicting long-term listening enjoyment is to turn the volume way down, all the way to the threshold of audibility. At low volumes the ears are most sensitive in the midrange, so this technique can spotlight midrange peaks or anomalies that are often overlooked at higher volumes, but which subtly contribute to listening fatigue. If the sound is still enjoyable at ultra low volumes, then that's another indication (but not guarantee) that the speakers will sound good long-term.
