I just marvel at recorded music in general. It was wonderful from a Magnavox Transistor Radio when I was 9 years old and almost as wonderful today from my current equipment; and, I've gotta tell ya, I do not have a clue about the specs of my speakers. I simply heard a similar model set up on a back porch to give some life to an outdoor party. That was back in 1973 and the speakers were JBL L100's. I wanted to buy a pair at my local store the next morning but could not come up with the funds. I had to wait about 13 years for a pair of L100t3's, which I still enjoy today. Every genre sounds great; and, I perceive the only short coming is not being able to fill my relatively large listening area with rock concert level sound without some sense of the speakers being strained. At any rate, I'm sure there must be a corollary between a speaker's specifications and what I hear; so, isn't the science understood enough today to make anybody happy with anything that honors the desired specifications? I mean how is it possible to make a bad speaker today, unless there's simply no engineering to it at all. So, what would be a name brand example of that? Seems TLS Guy's statement, " When it comes to specs most speaker manufacturers are morons. They give incomplete and misleading specs, as a rule. There are precious few speaker manufacturers whose specs are even useful and can be trusted", is a rather broad brushed opinion. Would not sales be so bad that the product would never become a name brand?
