thanks Duke.:)

I hope to see you at Newport.

Thanks, Mike!

Sorry this reply is so slow, but part of that is Newport... I've been burning the candle at both ends to get a pair of speakers ready for their debut in room 920 (Electra-Fidelity). Unfortunately I won't be there... will you be at Rocky Mountain?

I think I made most of the points I wanted to make on page 1 of this thread. Now were stuck in the never-ending loop of people who want to claim they listen to specifications and not music.

And ignore everything in John Curl's brain dump. Oh well, ignorance is bliss.

Micro, I never said perfect. However, an amplifier playing music, that nulls that music on a speaker load to a level of 90 db, will be perfect as far as our ears are concerned as long as it does not play above 90db and that's the way it is. Are not modern amps able to do this?

I am sorry..I have no clue what this means: And you definition of preference is unacceptable by sound reproduction standards. You are still at the individual punctual preference phase, something that was overpast long ago

So let's have a look at this statement a bit closer - your notion that any two devices which return a -90dB null will be audibly identical. But first let me ask am I rephrasing your post correctly?

There are certain people on this forum that even when you cut and past their exact words swear you are putting words in their mouth so tread carefully.

Sure, I just wanted to avoid expending energy on a post that elicited the reply "you missrepresent what I said"

Circular arguments always expend lots of energy for zero gain.
