RE: such an odd dichotomy

I *CAN* look at a waterfall plot of any system and give you a pretty good breakdown on what is wrong.

I have heard numerous million dollar plus systems that had obvious problems that I am confident would show up on a waterfall plot.

So I put two and two together there. I *CAN* look at a waterfall plot on most multi-million dollar "high end" systems and easily point out huge audible problems that their owners are missing and/or ignoring. Meaning that even a layman such as myself can interpret a waterfall plot and waterfall plots will tell us a lot about a system that owners are likely missing in their evaluations.

Now I might be wrong in speculating that most mega-buck systems would have obvious problems that would be easy to see on a waterfall plot. But it's not a bold prediction when one looks at pictures of the rooms "most" of these systems are in.

And so it goes that most of the owners of these mega-buck systems don't do measurements. At least not good measurements like you get with REW.
