Tidal Speakers owners

I agree completely, of course I mean the whole system, in which though the speaker has the edge in contributing to the systems sound. THANKS

Nice to know we agree :) I assume your first comment was meant to AudioFeil. I didn't understand that at first.

Peace -:)

Yes it was adressed to Audiofeil! ;-)

Happy Listening!

"If what comes out of the speaker is the same as what is sent into it, it is netural."

"...the same as what is sent into it..."

And how do you know what that "same" is? Every component, including speakers, puts it's signature on the sound. The only way one could know if a component is neutral is to listen to that component (without any other components in the system - which is not possible) and compare it against the original, live event.

Neutral is subjective - PERIOD!

Although HP was better than most in using words to describe sounds, I still think it is futile effort to do so. Yes, we should not have Audiogon, or it is a waste of time. Certainly, neutral is subjective; every review is subjective. Stereophile in particular has shown little or no correspondence between measurement and what we hear. Several years ago Archibald pulled in a very positive review of a $350k amp, which was the finest amp I ever heard because it did not measure very good. What bs! Several years later at the RMAF, he had a Boulder amp and an unnamed amp and showed both under loads measuring THD. Everyone raved about how stout the Boulder was. I asked "do you think the designer of the other amp think THD captures how good an amp sounds?" A hush fell over the room, and I left.
