Re: Okay...

Relevant excerpts

If you have dollars to spend, they are almost always better spent in those important categories. All these components are not 'neutral' by audiophile standards, but have a distinct sound, which the engineer will use to craft the recording to create the sound they are going for.

This is why a recording engineer wants a very revealing (maybe bright to our ears) monitoring setup (amplifiers, speakers etc.) to allow them to hear these nuances quickly and cleanly. They do not want a pretty, easy sound, because that makes it harder to hear they kind of errors they need to pick up. And they want to spend the minimum needed for that.

I have never heard a pro monitoring speaker I wanted to live with in my home. But they have qualities that most home gear, and even high end gear don't posses, mainly a much flatter response curve.


Could you show where "conflict between preferences and measurements" exists here.

"measurements are meaningless unless they corolate with the listening experience. "


Why are the measurements of the Pro audio components meaningless because they are not the preference of the typical audiophile?

in the light of these excerpts, what could you be possibly trying to say when you wrote "if you cannot corolate measurements and preferences then the measurements fail to serve the purpose of audio."?

Again you wrote "But there IS a requirement that measurement ideals MUST conform to preferences for thwm to have any value."

Tuckers clearly states here that the preference of the Pro and that the audiophile differ, so what measurement ideals should these seemingly incompatible preferences be required to conform to?
