So this is only about speakers, and most people think that just because a speaker is bigger, it automatically sounds better. Not true at all. My tiny Dynaudio 42s will outperform many floors tanders and if done blindly would win the votes.

Also, noted was the question of what was the reference for all comparisons? There seemed to be none so which speaker sounded better....than what?

I'm pretty sure you can hear a difference between Synergistic Research $800 speaker cables vs $200 Tara Labs weather your looking or not.

Each of the speakers they tested would also sound different between cables and sources which could account for the blind choices if the synergy between source and smaller speakers was in reality better than with the towers.

None of these tests seem to cover all the bases and leave themselves open to question.
