[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 130763, member: 30"] Re: Casual JTR Noesis and Danley SM80 meet up-also QU24 I don't recall the situation, but there have been demos that were 'intended" to take place around a certain SPL, but then they simply go louder-and nothing was changed in the processing-so the tonality changed due to the sensitivity of our ears. Sometimes it is not the loudspeaker that is the issue-but rather our own sensitivity to certain freq at certain levels. Different people have different sensitivities-even if their hearing is still intact. I'm not making excuses-but just stating what happens and some of the "variables". For example-some people like a distorted high end because they think it has more "highs". It is not natural but they like it. The same things goes for the low end. People are so used to the distorted sound from front loaded woofers driven hard, they sometimes don't care for a the actual clean sound of other woofers. Often it depends on what your perspective is and what you are used to. Just like some FOH guys like a system that has just a bit of "fuzz" to it-no matter the actual SPL and they will mix for that "fuzz" and push the system until it gives them the "sound" they are looking for. I have personally experienced this and if you give them the "fuzz" at a lower SPL they are often happy. So once again "it depends". [/QUOTE]
