3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive???

Your experience’s are a point in time. And you are listening for the experience right?
Measurements are useful for narrowing down options and your preference then is the litmus test in my opinion 

3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements

as jond said... 

the first is the objective for enjoying our music ... the second is purely incidental and i couldn’t care less

By your answer you are saying that you believe they are exclusive and you pick one or the other. 

No, not me. I already know measurements are irrelevant. It is nothing to do with me. It is nothing to do with being mutually exclusive. That is your game, not mine. What I said is not some word game. You are the one asking about "impeccable measurements" not me. I don't even know what "impeccable measurements" would be. 

Is 200 watts impeccable? What about 2? Is -85dB S/N impeccable? Or do we need to be -110dB? You throw "impeccable measurements" out there as if it's something anyone knows. Trust me, know one does! My guess is you yourself don't even know what your own "impeccable measurements" are. 

Point I am trying to make, what I am really saying, stop asking us and think it through for yourself. My questions are meant for you to answer for yourself:

Do you want what sounds good? Or what measures good?

No one can answer these questions but you. 

What measured good is a good design for the eyes of the Engineer...

What sound good is a wavefront of sound touching the ear of the listener....

Between the 2 there i million years of evolution....


Replace any design that your ears could not love or like and keep your ears open....

Remember only that acoustic is Queen in audio and all working gear are only the replaceable 7 dwarves....

Really only one or two people have answered my question and made suggestions of brands that they believe both measure very well AND offer an immersive musical experience in their opinion. That’s really all I’m looking for. How hard is that?
