I'm all for science when it applies....the earth is round,rotates and
revolves around the sun,dinosaurs once roamed the earth as evidenced by their fossil remains  etc. et al ......but I listen to music with my ears and do not rely upon test results to determine what I like to listen to. Otherwise I'd get an app that could listen with me,and let
me know whether I liked the music or not.  But then again,I always
thought I had a cool enough voice until I hear it on a home video and cringe at the sound of it,so now what do I do ?  What a world,what a world.

Just one thing. Soundstage height should not be taken all by itself, but as one dimension of the 3 dimensional space of the recording venue. What we should be striving for is a more and more accurate portrayal of that 3 dimensional space, as the system is improved - an “expanding sphere” of the soundstage, as it were. A sphere with dimensions of width, depth and height. Dealing with the 4th dimension is beyond scope. It wasn’t that long ago that audiophiles were exclaiming, “Whoa! The sound is coming from outside the speakers!”

This is a completely incomplete response but it is what would be expected from someone not practicing the pursuit of Tru-Fi in they're Music Reproduction System which is the only proven way of actually obtaining in the specific listening room the actual realistic characteristics of music this is obtained by working with properties and understanding the properties of each component within the  Music Reproduction System and how those properties interact to form the whole that is the sound that we perceive. Understanding Tru-Fi and the more recently discovered ICSS factor are what is necessary for anyone assembling, adjusting or optimizing a Music Reproduction System if they hope to achieve any success other than that which can be obtained by random trial and error.

One of my best friends said it best "haters will always hate", so I just try to read past all those hostile postings, enjoying the good things others contribute on this site.
