Ajax,
I read the thread. I was mortified by the test design to audition speakers, one broken in and one brand new, without actually randomizing the variable units beyond left vs. right.
There is a fundamental error in having craigsub KNOW that the speakers could potentially sound different b/c he KNOWs one of each variable (broken in or new) sits in front of him for the 'test'.
You absolutely need 2 pairs of speakers to do a proper blind test on this subject and he doesn't have it. The results of that test will mean no more than anyone else's unsubstantiated opinion on the subject and it appears that few understand such a simple concept. This does not at all question craigsub's honesty, but that is not the point. Bigus understands it quite clearly.

Repetition of a lie is a technique perfected by the Nazi propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, known as the "big lie." "Ad Hominem," is the use of an attack against the character of the person making the argument in order to discount the argument.

Some cheapy speakers I designed/built many years ago (while in highschool) sound way worse to me now than they did back then... I guess the break in period had an opposite effect in this case?

That's right, 2x6. Thank you very much. At least I didn't call it a logical "phallus-y".
