Stereophile - Sabrina 5

May be you’re dehydrated or oxygen deprived.
If you deemed reading a review a vast experience I have nothing further to discuss with you. I don’t take the criticism of these speakers personally. I own and enjoy my Wilson Sabrinas almost every day whenever time permits. I also don’t criticize a dish by reading a review of it. That would be stupid. Which is what the original post is.

We have a difference of opinion on how this was presented. You obviously don’t agree with my take. That’s fine. It’s how this world works. Present factual arguments. Don’t try to describe how something sounds based on your interpretation of a review with a flavor of misinformation sprinkled on it.

....you know what they say…"opinions are like noses…everyone has one."

Noses? Not the version I heard ;)
 

"You can keep on hating but that changes nothing for people who own and enjoy these speakers. "

Some people never want a discussion. They see discourse as trying to convince everyone that they are wrong. Doesn't take long before everyone just stops acknowledging their comments.

Oh...you know how these things go...The guy’s been mad ever since he bought some 15k nordost or whatever cable... and i bought some Asian inspired version of it on aliexpress for 50 bucks instead. I prolly bought 4 or 5 pairs of used speakers instead to flavor it up, at the price of some authentic nordost fanciness....Perhaps, it all sparked some deep uncertainties/distress inside his audiophilic core...Perhaps, he had some vision of me and the authentic nordost dealer getting sloshed at the bar, holding hands and dancing together....But, he’ll get over it, time heals all wounds.

I have AN-Es, and there are so many criticisms by enthusiasts of Audio Note, and they don’t in any way diminish me or make me angry. My ego is just not that fragile.  So my advice to you?  Chill, man.

Actually, you’re assuming facts not in evidence, which is that the OP has never listened to Wilsons.  That’s unclear me.  But, for the sake of argument let’s assume that’s the case.  My example of car enthusiasts is a great analogy.  You can take a look at power and torque curves and have a very good idea of how a car will drive in certain conditions (i.e., straight line acceleration).  It’s really easy to see why a stock VW Golf R benefits from an APR stage 1 tune, just by looking at one set of curves.

In your criticisms of the OP, you’ve never once addressed his fundamental point, which is that there’s a consistent 5 db dip in the response curve that shouldn’t be there.  You could simply say that measurements don’t matter, and they sound great to you.  Instead, you’ve attacked the OP from your very first post.  It’s pretty transparent, and really pathetic.  

Listen, Erik is an engineer, and he does "work" with speaker building. It is obvious why he would post the measurements here. Some folks rely heavily on measurements. Engineers certainly do. You can easily read into people how they write..."mine is bigger than yours". 333, I would never want to be acquainted with you, which is a shame, as I, too, would like to hear some of your horn speakers. You display nastiness and misery vibes. This audio industry of ours should be a fun one, and shared, happily and politely. Saying that a $28,000 pr of speakers should sell for $2800., shows me, ignorance and immaturity, on your part.. If my post gets deleted by Admin, so be it. My best to everyone else, MrD.
