"If we are talking about accuracy the point of "no more performance increase" is entirely objective and measurable. We have long since been there for amplification and digital sources. We have more recently arrived there with DSP. Even with transducers we are pretty much there. Speakers like the Kii system and the Sanders leave very little room for audible improvement when set up to their maximum potential."
I had no idea our technology for measuring "accuracy" in audio components, especially speakers, had come so far.
If by "accuracy" you mean the lowest measurable distortion, wouldn't Class D amps be the winners? And DSP?
And speakers - there are so many different designs - are you talking about merely the flattest frequency response?
And beyond measurable distortion, what about "fidelity to the recording', or what sounds most like real music to you, which was what HP and TAS were all about?
JA in Stereophile uses music he's recorded and the measurements he takes don't always agree with what he hears.
I thought the "objective accuracy" arguements died with Arny Krueger.
