In Reply to: Measurements can tell secrets if you speak the language posted by tomservo on December 31, 2007 at 09:36:01:
But of what measurements do you speak? Quality may be defined by differing sets of criteria some more or less important depending on the application. Not of minor significance to the end user is that he selects designs/products developed by designers who are designing around a similar set of priorities.
In audio, where room differences, the definition of sound quality and the "quality" of source material is ill-defined and/or ambiguous finding equipment from designers with similar priorites is essential. Equipment with a wide variation in measureable performance, even at similar price points, may find acceptance with buyers. A concensus on what's good and bad at any given price point is more difficult to achieve.
With a telescope, where the definition of performance is much less subjective and the application much less fuzzy, one can much more easily select based on measured objective performance and/or feature set. A concensus on what's good or bad is easier to achieve.
One more thing. I doubt one would expect greater distortion or colorations or visual craftsmanship in a telescope as they move up the price range. But I think often in audio we find greater and greater refinements in sound craftsmanship taking place as we move up in price - this may be in addition to or even in place of improved measureable performance. But given the effect of playback environment and the variation in quality of source material as well as individual preferences this isn't a bad thing.
