[QUOTE="Air, post: 669523, member: 15182"] Hi Shonver I am trying to establish what people use as criteria to judge loudspeakers with, and how they rank the various criteria. It is a straight- forward objective. Call it market research or a mere intellectual pursuit. I am aware of the research done in the field by the Harman group, think it was lead by Kevin Voecks who also build on the results or collaborated with by Dr. Toole, If recall correctly these results is embodied in the Revel design philosophy amongst others. Also the various comments by Stereophile's staff on how measurements relate to sound quality etc. I have a few hypothesis of my own, and in a low-keyed manner, I hope to either support or disprove them, if not for the scientific community, but for myself. With a captured universe of interested people in SQ and a light touch without being too serious, I thought it would be interesting to many. The results are open for all to see once you have voted and perhaps think with me about it. It might even help some to clarify what they are actually looking for when searching for the ultimate loudspeaker. I am not only interested in the engineering and design of loudspeakers but also with psycho-acoustics, consumer behavior and the role that an intense involvement in a hobby plays within a personal and personality perspective. I have however qualified many times that it does not pretend to be serious scientific research methodology, it is merely a poll amongst people with a shared interest. [/QUOTE]
