In the Thread: Accuracy vs. Musicality (and YMMV)
Post Subject: Doing What We Can DoPosted by Paul S on: 3/31/2025
Repeated many times in these pages, the best sound I can get from my system tells what my system "can" do, and developing system strengths is at least as important as solving system problems. I would amend your list to say that efficient speakers that can also take and make some power make amp matching more straightforward, and in most cases available/deliverable current is as important as voltage expressed as Watts in real world speaker/amp circuits. In terms of AC, I add that solving ones own ground issues is a BIG part of achieving acceptable AC performance. As for DPoLS, I suppose I have not yet found that Ivory Billed Woodpecker, but I know from experience that speakers' positions in the listening room and the listener's position relative to the speakers are also BIG Issues, and well worth the efforts, in terms of developing speakers' Musical capabilities. Showroom performance is one thing; it's my own listening room that I am concerned with, as it is the only place where my own gear needs to work.
