I think listening from another room makes it *far* easier to answer the most important questions that many people never really ask when auditioning.1. Is the sound natural?
2. Is the sound realistic?Many subjectively "good sounding" speakers don't sound anything like a real instrument playing in the next room, but really accurate/transparent ones do.
I don't see how Duke is the one being argumentative here. Sounds like he's being reasonable to me.
