I'm attracted to Scientific Neutrality, Straight wire with gain, with 120 db signal to noise ratio in the chain of events. I have a real EE background and life responsibilities force me to drop out of College at 19+ Years old to help my Mom, as oldest of 4 boys. When you are gifted with over 140 IQ, you have to use it.My current system, evolved over 60 years (since I was in single digits) bears out an expensive evolution of sound. You don't wanna know how many speakers I have owned and/or built during all those decades, with a 30 year partial pause as a Klipschorn/LaScala 2PH3 Listener while raising kids.
Paul Klipsch was proud I listened to his words of advice, even though we didnt' agree on phase and time alignment integrity in 1985. It's something he was not convinced of until circa 2000 AD when his Chief Engineer, Roy Delgado time aligned the Khorns, and he NOTICED a few years before passing! Paul was a fan of the Altec 500b and 800b (I still own) since they were a production metal copy of his hand made K5J horn (wood and fiberglas).
Now that my kids are raising their own, multi channel got me back into the creative and sawdust/solder joint production side of component amalgam for better sound with HORNS drivers of all kinds. Using all the modern free/cheap software tools that used to cost over $30,000 when I was an AES member. (even more in terms of TODAY's inflated dollars). How soon we forget.
In terms of "musicality" of Valves, I do not disrespect someone's preference and choice for the Euphonic Magic of good Valves, especially in winter months, so you are wrong about me. The "warmth" of the space heaters translates well into the "warm of the sound" on good horns, so I'm preaching to the choir there.
I modified and custom time aligned my Edgarhorn Titan II's a few years ago (now sold to a friend). I also owned the Altec stuff you have shown on your you tube videos. Dr. Edgar revived Paul Voight's ideas of 100 years ago with gusto, and I also believe in the magic of First Order networks and valves. Just because I now longer own them doesn't mean I didn't enjoy them.
I have Zero Issues with someone else's hearing preferences and gear choices. Not even yours.
I think that truth and sarcasm creates many emotional responses, of which Audio Responses are inherently and emotional solo experience by design, anyhow.
Even two pairs of ears, standing next to each other, in the same room, have a different emotional experience, even though they may agree on how it is achieved.............
I make no apology, based on your (emotional?) Democratic Free Speech response to my prior Text.
I only seek the truth for MY EARS, as the high frequencies naturally get shaved off, for as long as I can, and as best I can, with my remaining 4 Dimensional perception of music I like.
So being told to be quiet, effectively, is not something anyone with a higher than room temperature IQ likes to read.
Like Jack Nicholson's Col. Jessup character famously pointed out, some people can't handle the truth. Some people got fired for telling it.
I am not one of those.
