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 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. ;)
hi doug, i am an independent logical type, with a curiosity about human behavior.

the only reason i am buying the magnepans is the problem with one of my quad 63s. i need a bckup speaker. i doubt i will be replacing it soon, as i generally prefer panels over cones, except for an occasional foray into the world of mini monitors, which i would place on top of my quads.
Mr T. Although I am not an introvert, I border on extrovert while not completely adhere to the definition. Liberal Republican is kind of right description as far as my cars and audio prefreneces go. Other than that I am an maximum democrate. :)
