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 ?

The funny thing, that I also think that there is a linkage between one's personality and the characteristics of the soundprint of his or her system. Warm friendly people typically like warm, inviting, smooth, rounded sound - and their system do so. Other friend of mine, a young disco-lover, strong, loud, funny guy with race car like drving habit- has a JBL-Levinson system with lots of bass and omph and with shrilling highes. etc. Studying one"s listening habits and it system sound indicates personality traits and other way round.

I guess I have A.D.D. because I have had Stats, Planars, cone and domes, and now have VMPS with cones AND Planars.
Wait......what were we talking about????????

Sure it's "just" a backup speaker today. Sounds innocent enough. Pretty soon you'll be sneaking to audio dealers after work for a quick fix. Meeting in back alleys for a hook-up. Hot tips from your audio broker on that latest tweak.
Before you know it you're getting admitted to the audiophile nervosa ward then released to AA (audio asylum) for weekly rehab meetings. You know what they say, once an audioholic, always an audioholic.
No 2 or 3-ways for me, it's single driver all the way babeeee.
