[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 100580, member: 126"] Re: More spec sheet nonsense We are familiar with most of your concerns. Here's one from me. What percentage of customers do you think understand specs well enough to use them critically? IMO single digit percentage if that. Published Specs are the bane of engineering that would love to explain every number with full details about every single thing and the red meat used by merchandisers to create sellable differences between products that often aren't really significant. Loudspeakers are a pretty mature category and mass market value offerings are rarely well characterized by spec sheets. Maybe if we had some 3d paper, or 4d for the time axis. It does make a difference for some professional customers to match product to specific applications, so Ivan keep up your good fight, but don't expect a greek chorus to join in. The vast majority of customers are better off trusting a respected brand or designer to know the specs and trade-offs involved. Note: I didn't say trust me...:-) JR [/QUOTE]
