I just discovered this blog by Sean Olive a well know audio researcher. Well known if one reads JAES

I would encourage you to bookmark this for yourselves and read through it at leisure
While some of his citations along with Floyd Toole's have been posted, linked and talked about, Sean goes into a bit more detail on his blog, like the voicing engineers job loss
Interesting research on the CR speaker testing and what CR has done after the revelation by Sean's research

It is just full of great info, hammering home the need for DBT for meaningful results, etc.

While trained listeners perform better, untrained listeners, us customers, do not have a different preference from them for sound quality, under DBT protocols

Interesting, have a good read.

Nice find! I have some reading to do.

You know, I believe that Sean Olive and Dr. Toole did the research and all, but comments on sites like this seem to contradict their conclusions so much. I suppose its all down to bias, but it sure leaves you scratching your head some days.

Thanks for reading it
I would have to go with what the research by these folks show, not anecdotes. There is a good reason why research is done; it has valid meaning, repeatable.
I'd like to see the performance of those who contradict such research in a real meaningful test, under DBT I bet it would follow the previous research

Sure, you bet. Maybe I should have added a comment that
"This might disturb some beliefs"
