Impressive or not, real or not, even a theoretically perfect system, with dead-flat, distortion-free electronics, will still end up being played through speakers in an acoustic environment that may not be perfect. And even if the speakers, themselves, are brilliant designs that tested perfectly flat in an anechoic chamber, that makes far less difference than you might imagine: You’re not going to be playing them in an anechoic chamber, but in your own listening room, at home or elsewhere. And that room is going to have its own characteristics that will affect the sound of the speakers and the entire system, creating something other than what any outside testing might indicate.
