Thank you once again for proving my point.

Floyd Toole does one thing that I completely agree with. He corolates all his measurements with listener preferences.He then asigns meaning to any given measurement based on that corolation. IOW he operates on the correct belief that measurements are there strictly to serve listener preferences. I guess you did you not know that?

>Now to address a few points in your almost incomprehensible post.

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

>>1.Apples and oranges.The guy is clearly saying that he uses pro gear for a something other than listening pleasure.

Wow, so much for addressing my points. You ignore the most important one of all. Thank you again for acknowledging your argument was utterly irrelevant. Game over.


>>2. Where does it say anything about measurements here? Hin't: it doesn't. Your excerpt is utterly and completely irrelevant.

>-- This is a ridiculous question since you answered it yourself a few sentences later when said "notion that flat frequency response in a home speaker is rather dubious at best" obviously in response to "

WRONG. Calling a speaker flat does not mean the guy did any meausrments. For all we know the speaker is far from flat. Fact is all speakers are pretty far from flat so the idea that this is some kind of a measurment is ridiculous. That wan't even a nice try on your part it was pathetic. There is no discussion of any measurments. The guy may as well have said the speakers were "big" or that "they can play real loud" and it would have been just as close to a measurement.


> But they have qualities that most home gear, and even high end gear don't posses, mainly a much flatter response curve." What is response curve, if not a measurement? Your comments though are incomprehensible.

Again this is just one guy talking. NO MEASUREMENTS WERE INVOVLED. WHERE IS THE RESPONSE CURVE? WHAT PRO AND HIGH END EQUIPMENT IS HE TALKING ABOUT AND WHERE ARE THE ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS TO SUPPORT HIS ASSERTIONS? Thank you for once again confirming that I was plainly right.

>>>"Tuckers clearly states here that the preference of the Pro and that the audiophile differ,"

>>He also clearly staes a difference in purpose. DUH

>-- Your comments are simply laughable, a difference in purpose resulted in a difference of preference, its that simple. Your quibble here is asinine.

Sorry to say it but you are an idiot. Plain and simple. If you can not understand something as fundamental as a difference in purpose leading to a difference in prefenrece then please enjoy listening to your microwave oven, WOW WOW


>The rest of your post is nigh incomprehensible.

Of course, it requires at least a very basic level of intelegence. You should have lead off with this since clearly everything else I have written has sailed over your head.


? But as you can see Floyd does not share your opinion on measurements, rather he sees them as erroneous obversation.

No I see that he does. Don't think so? Ask him. Ask Floyd Toole do measurements have any meaning in home audio if they do not corolate with listner preferences. Ask him that question in those words. The naswer will be yes.
