It is kind of sad to me to see the arguing going on here. One reason I like this site is because we can all have our opinions freely. About the design I will say this:
Any time digital correction is used, this is a bad sign. There are either serious design flaws or the person's listening objectives are questionable in regards to good sound. Every time I have heard digital correction so far, I feel like the beautiful redwood forest is being put through a wood chipper and I am being pelted with thousands of tiny toothpicks instead.
It is important to remember that the Subjective musical result is the goal, but this does not mean to disregard all objective data. People who focus on objective data forget that when the data do not show a difference, there can always be more we are not measuring, hence the importance of the final step of subjective listening. BUT, this is not an excuse to ignore objective findings. When one sees something as ridiculous as the Brazilian horn, you kind of have to assume objectively it is going to be bad-sounding unless proven otherwise. Is something with so many design flaws that it makes you cringe when you look at it likely to be made by someone who has some special audio secrets up their sleeve? I kind of have to doubt it.
But I digress. This website is a place for us to all come together and share our experiences and learn, not to shout at each other ignorantly; if I wanted that I would just go to AA.
Happy listening!
