lack of midrange is objectively verifiable and irrefutable
You have completely missed my point re: weird tastes. My point was that, objectively, I can show that the amp I heard lacked mids. Others either have an amp which does have those mids, which makes the one I had faulty, or, theirs might not have mids but they think it does In which case they have a hearing issue, or, … weird tastes.
Need to back track on this because it's completely false and I need to ask where you imagined this up? The AMP-23R measures perfectly flat in FR across the audio band, and beyond 100kHz (to 1MHz for the current-mode input buffer). There is nothing "objective", "verifiable" or "irrefutable" about your statements without proof.A sensible post. Thanks @Zielarz I’m ignoring the other person. Wants a fight to overshadow an interesting discussion.
FWIW I am referring to literal mid range i.e. there is a measurable dip in those frequencies one would normally associate with mid-range. Also a sense that the music lacks any real magic or natural flow absent those things.
As regards the Naim it was literally no more than an intuitive sense that something was “off” and I had ceased to enjoy my music listening.
Subjectively in my experience, the AMP-23R comfortably trumps my Holo Bliss in mid-range presentation.
