[QUOTE="AV, post: 17989, member: 472"] Exactly, so the designer must decide if he like the valve sound or transistors even before starting. BTW if you design for specs only, there would be no valve amplifiers any more. No, I disagree, if you can't design for your own ears, then the designer are floating in the wind. Perhaps that is the reason why you get certain brands of speakers that not two speakers in a range have the same type of sound. I design for what I like to hear and then it is up to the clients to decide with their ears if they like what they hear. If not, there are many others to choose from. No they are not contradictory, you can change the perception of sound without changing the frequency response. The reason that I believe in a flat FR and phase response is because the recordings are made that way, some say that ears are not linear, that is sorted out by the musicians and recording engineers already. If you design the whole system and room acoustics to fit a flat response, you should get very good sound. That is the only way that you can ensure compatibility with other equipment also. [/QUOTE]
