Any "expert" who promulgates the notion that an "S" curve is the ideal
transfer function for an audio reprduction system is an "expert" who's
credibility is immediately and forever called into serious question.
He just plain doesn't know what he's talking about.

Such DRIVEL!!!!!

(Please note - I do not accuse the poster of the original message as
being that "expert" but instead the writer of the (magazine?) article
the poster was quoting. But I wish he hadn't placed such trash on the
net...)
