"how some people have so firmly and quickly decided that certain speakers are no good."

Well, I come to accept that we all have our "thing" when it comes to the sonic trade-offs necessary in musical reproduction

Compression horn fans won't get the explosive dynamics they are used to out of any boxed speaker. Nor will they scale large passages as effortlessly, and that's a deal-breaker for many. So, I understand where they are coming from. I'm a bigger fan of tonality and richness.

But, I do know there is a sizable performance difference between my Fostex drivers at 400 hours compared to 800+.

Also, I've come to appreciate that room acoustics usually account for more than 60% of perceived sound in the vast majority of setups, so I often wonder what the room is like and affiliated equipment.
