"In the mean while we have ears to rely on. Rok2id I`ll assume when you audition and decide to purchase your'audio' components you listened to them rather then just read the measurements and buy based on that criteria alone. "
actually, that is exactly what I do. I have never auditioned a piece of gear, and that includes speakers. I bought my JBL 150s because they were 'known' to be good party speakers. I got my polk Ls90s, because AUDIO magazine said they sounded just as good as the high end stuff, and FT Hood got a truckload of them and sold them for 600 a pair. MSRP was 1600. I got my Polk Lsi 15s because they were said to be better than the Ls90s.
Sadly, my current and past gear has not been worthy of an audition. One more great thing about lo-fi. plus, you save on gas. My next speakers will cost around 5000, so there is an audition in my future. :)
