This is physics we're atlking about here....really old, well undestood physics.....so it would follow that things aren't going to change here, unlike a belief system.

So if you believe you've heard a difference, you have, there is no argument for that, but you'll never be able to prove it

BTW - if you've ever done any serious room analysis, a lot of what you're claiming might be a by-product of the room response - which changes depending on where you are in a room, which would also explain why some people don't hear the same thing you did.

PS - Some speakers are especially difficult to drive, because they have wildly varying impedances. I believe you have a set.....
I agree that I cannot prove it except for what I hear and what everyone else hears. I cannot measue it. Dang, I hate saying that!

Physics, there's that P word again. It's been around for a long time, maybe as long as the universe? All I can say is that I hear changes and others hear the "same changes" that I do, but we cannot measue it, "YET"! Perhaps we aren't measuring the correct thing or in the correct way. Maybe, just maybe, there's some quantum thingy going on. What daya think?

I've tried wires on many systems, not all, but many and I could always hear differences. The only two exceptions were with a lower price paradigm speaker and a polk speaker. The only thing they had in common was that their midrange was very murky. As for my speakers, I have, at the moment, Magnepan, B&W, System Audio, and my home brew which consists of Newform tweeters and SEAS woofers. I have also had Quads ESL's and several others. I could hear wire differences on all of them. There were a few speakers that came before wire was an issue so I can't comment on them.

Again, you are correct that where you are in the room makes a difference, but so far eveyone has "heard the same things" I have. Figure that one out...

As you already suspect, we cannot agree, but, Hey!, that doesn't stop us from having fun.

You have a great day!
