Okey dokey.
It seems a few folks are saying, hey it's not a speaker forum so we shouldn't expect head-fiers to know about speakers.
On one level fair enough.
But I don't think it's really like comparing apples to oranges.
Presumably both audiences are interested in a great, or at least great-for-the-dollar, musical experience.
Even the vocabulary both audiences use in describing these experiences are pretty similar.
Both audiences use the same sources - you can find parallel conversations on source, cables, and music happening here and on speaker forums.
And then you have a good number of folks here asking speaker questions.
IMHO, it just seems like that last bit is where it breaks down. Not that headphone listeners should be uber-savvy on speakers, but just that one might expect a lot of the same strategies, values, desired experiences, etc. to be similar.
I think that was the point of the first thread with this title as well.
So, sure, a couple people have said it's not a speaker forum. Fair enough. I'd love to hear their take on the overlap or lack thereof.
