(I had to say that for my fan club.) I support Steve (..!nbires!winograd) in his statements about technocracy and subjectivity. Personally, I haven't experienced the same results with multiple loudspeakers in the same room, but I won't scoff at him either. I have experienced the same differences in sound reproduction with some of the items Steve mentioned and I therefore have good reason to believe him. But people with $500-$1K systems may not perceive any of these effects and therefore may think that we've both have had at least two Pan-Galactic Gargle-Blasters and are definitely not still standing (the Answer is 42, Arthur:-). The fact still remains that some people can hear things that others cannot on whatever system. Explaining these observed differences to those who cannot or will not believe they exist without figures to back them up has always been a problem and will continue to be. But unlike some people, I respect everyone's opinions and their right to freely express them. Now, on to invent something to keep the Patent Office open... Yours for higher fidelity, Phil Rastocny AT&T-ISL ..!drufl!pmr
