You are simply highlighting one of my very points. That said, I think you are getting the language and intent twisted up, the phrases from the two quotes above are intended to mean essentially the same thing, as I think most readers clearly understood in context. And as for the last quote I used "almost" because there is at least one person on this forum who IIRC mentioned they can almost always tell the difference in a mix. If I hadn't used the terms "sometimes" and "almost" then I'd have someone else chiming in claiming things were stated too absolutely.
Don't kid yourself, an objective blind and deaf person would see FAR more bias coming from the Kemper disciples than anything perceived from me. The KPA has shortcomings matching a reference amp, they are not trivial at times, and the disciples simply refuse to accept this fact.
Thanks, Sonic.
