How do you know something exists if you can't measure it?
>frequency range, balance, dynamics, phase shift, intermodulation, back EMF from speakers
All of those things you mentioned about audio are measurable.
- beat 10y agoSo, how do you measure love? Or satisfaction? Or grief? Lots of things exist that cannot be measured. And really, a lot of the things I mentioned are very hard to measure, because the data source (music) is very dynamic and inconsistent. But that's missing my point... audio equipment is sold using a meaningless measurement because it sounds important and is easy to measure. It has nothing to do with the clearly audible distinctions between different amplifiers.
