Panel Sound

My "stats rule" remark was made in a post titled "panel sound". Within that realm, and within the flavor of the topic, my comment is actually quite proper, should that be my belief.

I've had many "wall of sound" speakers, I think. At least I have many big electrostatic and other diaphragm speakers. I must say that I have gotten tired of listening to the recording event through two windows while in the control room. With the Magnepans and Magneplanars, I got tired of vocalists with six foot wide mouths. I've also been through many horn speakers with and without compression drivers. I hate when the instrument changes location with what note is being played. I noticed several years ago that dynamic driver speakers, if they had front and back drivers, were more satisfying. Then I bought the BMC Arcadia speakers and doubt I will ever buy anything else. But I know that speakers in particular show some love one and others hate it.

Cheroot: I don't believe Shakeydeal's exception was about your love of stats, but your:

the BEST STATS are made by Roger Sanders. Nothing can be better.

comment.

I believe that your comment was pointed out, because anyone hanging around this site for more than a few hours or around high end audio equipment in general, should understand that there is no best; especially a design type by of all things, a single designer!

While you may love stats as I do, I also understand that every design/type/style of every piece of equipment that we own and value, has it's strengths & unfortunately weeknesses.

Come on: the BEST is made by _____ and nothing is better --- Really?! Or was this just a tongue-in-cheek statement meant to garner the comment that Shakeydeal made?

Of course it was tongue in cheek; I had not turned this into a my speaker is better thread. Just a 'within panels, there is nothing better than..'.

Just a 'within panels, there is nothing better than..'.

He doesn't give up, does he?
