Presence speakers - What do you think?

Hyfi, Feanor, and Luvin Da Blues - I received emails notifying me that there were additional posts. I was reluctant to read them, but I did. I'm glad I did. Your support was a welcomed surprise.

I know better than engage in conversation with egoists, but I hadn't figured out yet that Sir T was of that nature before I was already drawn into such a worthless confrontation. The type of discussion I had with him is damaging to a sites reputation and enjoyment. Bfalls surprised me. He was wrong about Sir T winning, there was no contest going on. However, everyone else was loosing. You folks had to sit there and listen to all this nonsense. I really...really apologize for that.

I'll just say this...

Disagreement is expected and even desired, sometimes it's part of the learning process. Sir T backs up "some" of his claims with science, but that's not the problem. He just doesn't seem to understand the scope or conditions that other posters are referring to. The only other thing I'll say about him is that he doesn't seem to give people credit for their intelligence or knowledge. I believe that most people on this site could have his job, or better, had they wanted to pursue that course in their life. What I'm trying to say is that he is no better and no smarter than anyone here.

I'm going to spend a little time cooling off and reconsider the choice I made, thanks to you guys.

However I want to respond to Woochifer first.

Yes, DSP modes are wildly inconsistent depending on the source. This can easily be heard when a movie goes to commercial on regular TV. Some commercials sound very bad, but when the movie starts up again, it goes back to normal. At least that's my experience. I'll add one more thing. When I run DSP, the ones I choose and the settings I use are more subtle. When I turn it on and off, it's more of a perceptual thing and much less of a major change. No one can even tell I'm using DSP unless I shut it off. Then what they notice the most is that everything sounds flat and dull. In addition, I notice that the soundstage behind the speakers collapses a certain amount.

Again, thanks guys for your words of encouragement. You have no idea of how much that means to me.
