No,
I liked the way my Klipschorns sounded before I recapped them. When I recapped them they were brighter than thay had been and initialy I did not like it.
unlike your analogy of the ice cream where if i never ate anything but crappy ice cream I would not know the difference, I have had many pairs of excellent speakers in my listening room along with my Klipschorns...before and after the recapping, including Polk SDA SRS, Infinity RSB II's, Kef 107's, Maggies etc. and continue to experiment with different amplification including Mcintosh, Sansui, Pioneer and others. I do know the difference in sound from different speakers and have opinions of what I like and do not like.....I have not just grown used to listening to crap or been brainwashed. I find your comments insulting,
