Audio Science Review = "The better the measurement, the better the sound" philosophy


"Audiophiles are Snobs"  Youtube features an idiot!  He states, with no equivocation,  that $5,000 and $10,000 speakers sound equally good and a $500 and $5,000 integrated amp sound equally good.  He is either deaf or a liar or both! 

There is a site filled with posters like him called Audio Science Review.  If a reasonable person posts, they immediately tear him down, using selected words and/or sentences from the reasonable poster as100% proof that the audiophile is dumb and stupid with his money. They also occasionally state that the high end audio equipment/cable/tweak sellers are criminals who commit fraud on the public.  They often state that if something scientifically measures better, then it sounds better.   They give no credence to unmeasurable sound factors like PRAT and Ambiance.   Some of the posters music choices range from rap to hip hop and anything pop oriented created in the past from 1995.  

Have any of audiogon (or any other reasonable audio forum site) posters encountered this horrible group of miscreants?

Funny..so many of us are so anal about our research, but ultimately make a decision somewhat spontaneously/intuitively.  I plead guilty.

I also preferred the Focal Trio11 be to the Dutch and Dutch. They don't measure as well but I like the wider sweet spot and umph of the 10" bass. 

As for the Adalante 5 there's something special about a mid dome driver you don't see those much anymore.

Shocker!!! Must have been the wrong measurements wand 😂🤦‍♂️🙄

There is no lack of choice when it comes to active studio monitor type speakers which have very good measurements.They can be quite easily engineered with internal digital crossovers and EQ to measure flat.And they have probably never been more affordable.Will you like the sound of them for every day domestic use?Probably not but they are accurate.
