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.
In the same way computer science is not a science nor about computer, "audio science review" or ASR is not about science and not about audio...
ASR abuse the words here speaking of a "science" for which is in fact only design engineering not science and abuse the expression "audio science " whose real core must be hearing theory without never speaking about hearing.

@dynacohum Agree. |
@mahgister Kudos for trying to have a reasonable discussion with @markwd. You always present interesting information. Regarding Kunchur, he freely admits his efforts are a work in progress. His criticism of Amir is spot on. Suggestion by @markwd to engage in a discussion of ideas with Amir is one of two things. 1. Complete ignorance of how Amir responds to non-alignment with his views. or 2. @markwd complete alignment with Amir views. I believe 2 is the most likely. Perfect example is the accusation you speak in "word salad". Pot calling the kettle black describes that accusation. Long ago I naively thought Amir would be open to constructive suggestions to bring his testing process more in line with basic test and measurement principles. The ASR minions went on the attack and Amir arrogantly claimed he was doing unerring science. So much for constructive discussion.
