My sytem does go down to 20 Hz and below but then I have a subwoofer.As for the rest of your post, I think I agree with most of it. People do have different subjective reactions to various pieces of equipment, but that doesn't mean they can actually identify any sonic differences in the equipment. Maybe they can and maybe they can't. Now, Harry Pearson may love the 47 Labs DAC but it remains to be proven whether he can actually hear the difference between it an numerous others. And if he can, JA's measurement may indicate why. He thinks some of the anomalies in its performance may be audible.
Most speakers could be differentiated in a controlled DBT, but even so, knowing what speaker it is tends to have a greater impact on evaluations than the actual sound. Usually, the first thing I read through in Stereophile's speaker reports are the measurements--and I can say the same of speaker reports in Sound & Vision, Soundstage, and Audio Ideas Guide [unfortunately, they all have different ideas as to how to measure and display the results!]. Of course, I might on occasion be looking up something else, such as the price or dimensions, but generally, the first thing I seek are the measurements and the commentary thereon. Certainly, Art Dudley seems to have different tastes in speakers than I do.
