I consider myself an amateur audiophile who is obsessed with having a variety of speakers and headphones that all have their own place for different types of music.
That being said, I’ve never understood how each one can sound so different and be better at certain things when some can have the exact same specs like size, ratings and frequency response. I’m sure housing has something to do with it, as does the material the diaphragm is made of. But even then it still doesn’t make much sense to me.
Edit: when I say frequency responses I mean on paper.

All loudspeakers have trade offs. The trade offs that one manufacturer chooses might sound better to your ears than a different trade off selected by a different manufacturer. Also, there are myriad design approaches to speaker construction, and as they might sound different, you might prefer one over another. Also, spending more money can optimize the components, which can sound more accurate than less expensive components.
