[QUOTE="d0dja, post: 583592, member: 2244"] Trolling aside, I was contemplating a "magic rating" list from 1 undeniable fact -> 2 compellingly demonstrated -> 3 unlikely but ok maybe maybe -> 4 seriously unlikely -> 5 sucker. Ranked in terms of * A. is there solid science behind it * B. is it measurable * C. if its not measurable,can a difference be reliably identified in blind listening test Negative points for anything where vendors use big words and science mumbo jumbo but cant show either empirical measurement or ABX testing. So id rank: Crossover components or drivers get ABC, def a 1 Amps get ABC (although the B is thin as there are often distinct sonic characters to amps that seem to measure the same. A def 2. Fancy interconnects? Hm. 3. Fancy speaker cables? 4. Fancy power cables? I leave this as an exercise for the reader. @croak - power rating is as per AWG standard (ie de jure, not de facto) [/QUOTE]
