The Golds are an objectively amazing speaker in their ability to play loud and deliver quality deep bass - especially when they were priced at slightly over $2k for the pair.It loves to play loud and rock the room.
That's what I've been saying all along! Sure with the right recording it can rock the room and shake the windows and with enough power it can play loud. In fact, I agree, it has a polite inoffensive character. But no matter what you are trying to claim these are objective performance criteria. And however amazing or refined these abilities, which I've admitted all along, it is not enough for me to deem them a musical or fun loudspeaker.
I don't think I disagree with much about what you say about the sound of the Golds. However, admitting that I agree with most of it, I would and have come to a different conclusion about the quality and usefulness of the speaker.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
