The sound is the thing . Some of the finest musical instruments ( violin/guitar , whatever ) are very humbly constructed but resonate in ways that science can barely explain .
Similarly , some of the finest-sounding speakers on the planet are also the very ugliest ' designs' out of neccessity or compromise .
One of Bob Stuart's favourite demo discs for example is the Stereo DVD-A recording of ' Art Pepper meets the Rhythm Section ' from January 1957 because of the absolute quality of the recording on relatively primitive equipment.
One thing his 808.2/8k demo at HH2 demonstrated was the thoroughness and deication of M's ' listening methods ' .

P.S. My favourite quote again : ' Not everything that counts can be counted ,
not everything that can be counted,counts .
