Well I can see everyone has read what I said about dumbing down speakers (or, put another way, "making them less accurrate") and interpreted it as me saying that everyone is dumb. I'm a bit baffled at that connection.
But I do see, in re-reading my own post, how "appeal to lowest common denominator" how I wrote it can easily be misinterpreted as applying to people, when I was referring to quality of recordings (which is how this thread started).
So anyway, now that you hopefully understand I'm not flaming everyone here, let me try to clarify my point:
I am simply opposing the viewpoint that their exceptional clarity (to me, which may be "emphasised brightness" to some) is a flaw that needs to be remedied. I find it their strength. I hope they do too, or else they probably wouldn't be making these speakers this way.
If it were that serious of a flaw that doesn't work for someone, well then try the resistors or an alternative speaker solution, but don't call the speakers flawed.
