Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler M80s (or 60s) outside?

That's why I find the debate about which speaker is better to be far off target in most cases. Low level listening does not inform the debate, yet spurs it on. At high levels, most speakers or amps start to add something that is not there at lower levels. Speakers that don't do that, or not as much as the A/B test subject, are better. At easy listening levels with good equipment it is almost impossible to say one is more accurate than another to the original source.

But when Stevie's voice starts to sound shrill at 105db on system A, while on system B the tonal quality of her voice stays consistent (even if not, in actually, more accurate to the original) while gaining volume, then you know B is a better system.
