I cannot seem to figure out why sound quality is viewed as a subjective thing. The goal is to reproduce an audible event without having to be at the location at the same time that it is being produced. At the location that the event took place, the sound waves passed through a point (mic, ears) in a particular form. Does it not make sense then that audio reproduction should have an objective measure? Obviously since the system is analog for much of the transmission, there are many factors that would contribute to the reproduction of the waveform at another particular location, but in the end there is a measurable goal. Is it just too expensive/hard to test this, too hard to convince people that a $xxxx product is more accurate than a $xxxxx one, or that is it just too hard to get people to accept that certain sound is indeed inaccurate after they spend $xxxxx on an audio system focusing on a certain "distortion"?
Any thoughts?
