The fact that you put Gene and Steve in the same sentence when talking about science is mind boggling. Amir obviously doesn't represent all of audio science, but the methodology he uses and which you've been ignorantly questioning is entirely derived from accepted science. It shows me that you don't have a clue what you're talking about!
You're so stuck on the KEF LS50! Did you even read the forum post? Here it is for you, there isn't even a recommendation in there! You make no sense man.

All of the measurements are 100% accurate and good information for prospective buyers. It's infinitely more valuable than you are giving it credit for. I don't even understand what your stance is! Don't provide or look at the measurement data and stick your head in the sand? Are speakers magic to you? There's no way to measure if they're performing well? How do you think a company like KEF designs speakers? Do you think they don't use anechoic measurements? There is no ideal that they're shooting for? It's all shooting from the hip? These are rhetorical questions in case you're confused. It's obvious that KEF uses the very science that you're denying. They actually published a white paper detailing exactly that for their latest Reference series! I guess the KEF engineers are also a bunch of hacks! They should fire their Engineering department and bring on Steve Guttenberg to listen his way into the next Reference series. It would probably save them a bunch of time and R&D money!

You're also obsessed with sensitivity but I don't think you know what it means. You're mentioning a bookshelf that had somewhere around 80dB average sensitivity while the manufacturer listed 86dB. That's a pretty big difference dude! Especially considering it had ~1% distortion through the midrange at only 86dB. You're going to need a LOT of power to get those speakers loud and you're going to be rewarded with high distortion in the midrange, a place where our hearing is the most sensitive. Definitely fair to mention that when reviewing the speaker! Of course you completely exaggerate what was said in the review for effect. A familiar pattern with you at this point! Who your audience is is anyone's guess.

Honestly, I've put more effort into responding to your meritless posts then you deserve. I feel that we've reached a natural closing point where it's clear that neither of us can learn anything else from the other. I wish you the best of luck.
