persoanlity and speaker preference


there may be a relationship between personality and speaker ownership.

owners of panel vs cone designs may differ with respects to aspects of personality.

it's a hypothesis which could be tested.

i have thought about presenting a personality inventory to memebers of an audiophile clube to which i belong, but have yet to do so.

there are persoanlity variables which may help to distinguish preference for panel vs box speakers.

can anyone suggest factors which when quantified could discriminate panel from cone speaker preferences ?

I like BIG horn speakers with BIG Tubes and dressed in black vinyl. Exposed, dynamic, colored, musical.

I like my women just like my speakers.

I hate walking, but when in a building it is my only transportation. I have been thinking a great deal about time travel and astral projection. Did I mention my abduction experience?

I like my ice cream in those BIG horn shaped waffle cones. No sprinkles please.

I don't chew my toenails any more and my hamster just had babies.

My favorite color is red, no wait, it's blue with red circles.

I don't drink, sniff glue, or chew my toenails.

My babies were all born naked.

My wife is named Narleen.

Thats about it. I hope this helps.
the hi end isn't about hi fidelity, it's about fashion......cones, horns or ribbons please......hmmmmm glossy red or jara wood? now thats the question....if the finest speaker ever designed had a vinyl wrap, very few audiophiles would buy it.
I like cone speakers, Time and phase aligned. Has to be acoustic suspension type. Gotta have full range. And yes Gotta be Dunlavy.

I have heard planar, horn elecrostatics. Enjoy them but...

I like neutral and lively sound. If it manages to be musical, all the better.

Favorite color is Black

I like all types of women- Blondes, brunettes, red heads, and in between. No discrimination here.

Love cars- especially Porsches, they all gotta be black

I wear Armani, strictly.

I like beers and martinis

Love icecream, but restrain from it for fear of getting fat. (I have been one weight, give or take few since last 20 years.no kidding)

I wear my hair long. Not "hair' band long (closet rock star)

I love my wife and two daughters.

Mr T, I enjoy MOST your posts.
hi nilthepill, is it possible that you are an extrovert and or a linberal republican ?

that may explain your chice in speakers.
How about the relationship between worldview and speaker selection?

Darwinist Audiophile: "My stereo is a part of a larger cosmic accident, and I'm not happy with the sound. I need to stumble upon some fantastic new speakers."

Intelligent Design proponent Audiophile: "I organized my stereo to be irreducibly complex, but I don't like the sound. I need a new speaker plan."

You see, the bulk of audiophiles hung up on equipment are never happy. Like women and their hair. Never happy with it.

MrTennis, You say you want Magnepan 1.6's now. Later, it'll be something else. We know. You liberal psychoanalyst types are never happy. ;)
