I guess you don't 'get' what I was talking about. NM

Give it to me again, please.

It was simply a light-hearted comparison as to how faith/belief can result
in
'unscientific' conclusions.

As in that religion would deny Darwin, so the SET believers would deny the
sonic
accuracy of modern ( and even some not so modern ) amplifier designs with
hugely
superior technical specs.

' Love is blind ' etc......

Thanks for the clarification.

You're welcome.

I'm not sure where Andre stands on that.

It does seem puzzling. I think he says whatever comes into his mind sometimes.

But my view is that it is possible
that an SET, or other not-pure-reproducer types of amplifiers, could end up
helping some people imagine better that they are in the performance venue. I
have not experienced this myself. When I went to the NY Hifi show, there
were many SET exhibitors, some with horns. I think most were used in
combination with vinyl. I was not impressed, but neither was I impressed
with the Levinsons driving two concrete pillars in the middle of a
reflective room.

In terms of recreating a sound that replicates or simulates a real performance
then it's a whole new game. A good case can be made for multi-speaker sytsems
with delay paths and added reverberation. I hardly think that the technical
limitations of an SET amp can be much help in this respect though.
