No, if you can do that then you’re in the fourth half....or fifth maybe.

Yeah, you did. Anybody can go back and look.

I consider that argument a cannard perpetuated by those who like speakers that simply don't image well. And just as you put it, tonal quality is always juxtaposed against imaging as if they're mutually exclusive properties. I don't agree.

Kosst_ feel free to consider my perspective anything that you care to, however I use mini monitors that image quite well. I just fail to hear that type of imaging in the concert hall. And, of course, my hearing could certainly be suspect.

I will say that, years ago, when I used Altec 19s, JBL Apollos and Klipsch Cornwalls that presentational aspect of the sound had greater veracity to the concert hall, however the diversions from tonal correctness were a bit hard to live with.

I think that we pick the distortions that we can live with in the end. So in my case it’s not a result of owning speakers that don’t image well, but simply a preference for what I believe is a closer representation of concert hall sound.

I would ask do you hear this kind of imaging in the concert hall? If you don’t then it is fair to say that is an artifact of the recording/reproduction process, though, to some, a pleasant one.

And I think that it is an intentional misreading of my post to say that I suggest that good soundstage and tonal accuracy are, in some way, mutually exclusive. What I said was the Absolute Sound took the emphasis off of tonal correctness when began to focus, almost solely, on aspects of soundstaging. But you knew that’s what I said.
