And your experience with NST doesn't apply.....Until you've heard the speaker, - you don't know about it, - or how it sounds. You can't tell what a speaker sounds like based on its measurements as every component sounds different with different associated equipment in certain rooms. What "appears" to be some "flaw" in a speaker's measured performance may not actually be present or may not be "heard" in certain rooms, with certain amps, cables and sources.
The poster's statement is valid as you're not only passing judgment on something that you haven't any experience with, but you're telling the poster what they hear and what they don't: that's projecting.
It would be an entirely different story if you made your comments AFTER you sat down with him, had a nice glass of wine, and then told him that you don't think that he's right...

- Yes, you're right, if higher distortion, less FR accuracy and poorer dispersion at a higher price = better :-) - John Ashman 06:57:49 11/12/06 (0)
