[QUOTE="AV, post: 17981, member: 472"] Speakers cones of different material sound different, magnet size have an influence on sound, FETs, transistors and valves sound different, even different transistors sound different, everything make a difference in sound. So if the designer may not decide with his ears which component (whatever) sound the best to HIM then I'm confused. Surely measurements and equipment are important but I still say it can not predict the type of sound that you will hear. As you say everybody have their own idea of what they like best, so I design everything to sound good to me, yes I will ask others opinions also but in the end I must be happy with it. "clinically cold RE-production", ...reminds me of a hospital theatre, sorry not for me, rather give me a system that can make music sound natural, detailed and warm ;D My believe, if one design only for specs and measurements, the sound will usually end up "clinically cold" like a measuring instrument. At the same time I believe in a flat freq response with no phase error, up to frequencies well beyond what is considered audible. I have to listen to music with my ears, so I'm happy to trust them in the designing stage also, using measuring instruments to check that everything is OK. [/QUOTE]
