Here’s an observation you might find interesting about a reviewer’s comments involving three highly priced and regarded speakers. “Each of these speakers has a distinctive characteristic that both sets it apart from the crowd and is obvious enough to polarize listeners. The very trait one person may highly value, causing big grins or even necessitating a mandatory purchase, another may consider a total turn-off. For example, the Speaker A throws luscious, intimate images and is somewhat lenient with inferior source material. Some people may consider Speaker A a little too mellow. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Speaker B can be intensely dynamic and incisive, and that might be too much of a good thing. Speaker C is amazingly quick and clean, but some may think it comes across as aloof or cool. Rather than buy first and try later, I would suggest a thorough audition to decide if their sonic priorities align with yours.” Based on those comments, how is one to determine the most “accurate sounding system” to a live musical performance?
