When one is referring to AUDIBLE DIFFERENCES it is not a contest between
ears and test gear. Both require one to understand the limitations to
know what the measurements actually represent. Turn your head or move
your Schoeps a couple inches off-center and you'll get measurable and
audibly different results.


As I see it, the real question is, "So what?" The primary purpose of
monitors is to allow one to manage the sound of their production and
reduce problems with the understanding that it will sound very different
in every environment that the material is played in, regardless of the
hardware used.


** Now that IS audiophool nonsense.

If you believe that monitors in one environment accurately represent
reproduction in another then you don't understand much about acoustics.
