Re: That Explains It!

Yes, it leads to the inescapable conclusion that most of the real differences in the perceived performance of one sound system and another is due entirely to differences in frequency response. This is a conclusion which is still valid. One cavaet is that the issue of frequency response of loudspeakers in real rooms is a very complicated one, one with far more aspects to it than most loudspeaker designers understand or take into consideration in their designs. Another is that the frequency response of a sound system is often subject to real world interactions between components especially between amplifier and loudspeaker which are not revealed in normal bench tests using resistors as loads. And yet another is that if cables sound different, it is due entirely to changes they make to the frequency response of the system and that it is a very stupid and inefficient way to make such changes when far better alternatives are available.
