Is ASR for real, or is it only for those sub $1k or even sub $2K?
I did some browsing on the forum and it seems like most don't own very expensive gears. Most of them own mostly sub 1K or 2K gears.
I recently ask about feedback on the Polk R700 but after about a month with no responds. I did a search "ASR Polk R700", with all but one poster which actually owned a pair. Most of them would point you to some measurement and some theoretical discussion but non actually own a pair.
I also looked at a few posts on budget speakers such as the Kef Q7 or Polk R600, but I didn't see any actual owners responding.
I don't mean to knock on them but ASR seems like a lot of hype but very little substance.
You’re so biased that you don’t see the logical fallacy in your own argument. What you’ve done here is known as circular reasoning, or "begging the question." You’ve also discounted empirical evidence as a mere "claim," while elevating the status of measurement. That’s your belief system and makes you a measurementalist. That's fine as it is - the problem is that you pretend science is on your side. |

I don't think you are using that correctly but I can change the word "claim" to "assertion" or "statement" without damage to my central point: evidence, objectively arrived at by measurements or accumulated from statements about experiences, is valuable in designing audio equipment. It's all evidence and is used as such. Like I say, this is a false dichotomy. |
Yes, I understand that for you empirical evidence is a problematic "claim" and "broad generalization." You find security in the "depth" of numbers. Correlating the evidence with the numbers can be tricky business for sure, but it's what separates the scientists and truth-seekers from the measurementalists. |
