Lol, the only thing to read is that there is no relationship between drivers and rank you can forget the rest 

Which is really no surprise. As they say, it's not the size that counts but how you use it!

I bet the regression for price/apparent sq is just nonsense.

Women don't mean that, they are just being nice.

  AK380Cu+Amp Cu improve the bass impact from my Zeus-XRA.

 
Any other sources or cables that do the same?

man you are too smart for indie rock like Beck , i think you better start listening some King Crimson / electric miles davis 70s period etc
 
you really burned me here

 
How about some metal? So much incredible metal being made now and I don't mean power/glam/hair metal.  That isn't metal.  I mean Black, Death, Doom, Stoner and Sludge and every combination between.

what i think about metal. and what i think @flinkenick will be like by the end of his review and rankings.

no offense but with a few exceptions (meshuggah/animals as leaders being the first that come to mind) i find most metal music boring and not so 'smart' in time signatures etc

also , i find it boring as in terms of loudness - plus i don't get Nic to be the metal/headbanging kind of guy
 
even when i was young (17-18) metal never clicked me, let alone now which i am 25 years older and 2000% smarter 
 
 
and this is just my personal taste here ofc

Same. I once tried Metallica Death Magnetic. Never touched the genre after that

Death Magnetic is garbage and Animals As Leaders is not my cup of tea.  There is no genre more expansive as metal.  A small and incomplete map of the current field of genres. http://www.mapofmetal.com

well death magnetic suffers from loudness wars so it's an unpleasant sonic experience
 
i like(d) metallica up until the black album - when i was 17 metallica were one of my favorite bands but i didn't really consider them 'metal' as they had great melodic lines in their songs
 
even their supposedly most 'intelligent' album 'and justice for all' which is where they turned to weird time signatures etc , is not something i consider extra smart
 
i mean if you have heard 'absent lovers' by King crimson , most metal seems childish in terms of intellectuality
 
but like i said , this is just my personal take

Those are all surface level bands, the plastic floating on the surface above the marianas trench. Not a huge metallica fan. King crimson is more rock than metal.

I've heard everything. Jazz, Blues, Classical, Rap, Hip Hop, Rock, World, etc and subgenres therein.  I've been all over.  I'm not young. I'm 31.

i mentioned KC as one of the bands out there that i consider highly cerebral and intellectual with weird time signatures
 
they hardened their sound in the 00s (search for their live 2003 dvd live in japan) but at heart they are clearly a prog-rock band
 
cheers

Curious, how do you enjoy metal on a slow monitor like A12?
