Ok, I agree with you on most counts. There is a stupid wall between the "audiophile" and "pro audio" worlds:
- Audiophiles should look more what recording studios are doing ; I think it is totally ridiculous, to spend $10,000 on PASSIVE loudspeakers, for example. Active loudspeakers make more sense - the pro audio world knows that for 20+ years - , but are more difficult to sale to the average person.
- E.E. shouldn't dismiss Audiophile's practices and advices without LISTENING an equipment. It is clear that, for loudspeakers for example, measurements fail to define how it sounds. Hundred of curves, properly measured, never available anyway, can give you an idea of how a loudspeaker sound ... but 30 minutes of careful listening give you a better diagnostic ! Cables DO sound different (I am not sure somebody really knows why), etc.
Cheers,Yves
