148. mmm, khorns.
they are next item on my purchase list for my new tube system. my SS system has klipsch CF-3 speakers.

as you know, klipschorns are debated similar to analog v digital. they sound incredible, despite having technical specs that are not that good compared to modern high end speakers.

to expand on your comment on the many variables that influence sound, it really is a total package, and every component colors the sound in some way. how all those components work together along with the way the source material was recorded and mixed, etc. affects how the music sounds.

people debating which sounds more perfect, analog or digital are missing the caveat in the original post: which delivers a better listening experience? that is a different question than which is more accurate. accuracy can be measured, and it has been proven that digital recordings are more accurate. that does not make them sound better. the ears can tolerate, even enjoy a lot of really sweet sounding distortion from an analog recording, yet the distortion from digital can be much more fatiguing despite being a tiny fraction of that measured in an analog recording.
