You chose your Advents on the basis of how a piece of studio equipment
evaluated the output signals with respect to the input.
But that's only part of the "system" since it didn't include you. It
leaves out a lot of ear drum elasticity, flexibility of cilia, shape and
size of ear canal and possible selective attenuation and amplification
of the signal by a brain and nervous system which is custom programmed
by life experience and lord knows what else.
There's not much mystery why we don't always agree.
