Hi John,
What I really meant by the "slide rule types" or "cognac and cables types" is really what some people call right brained and left brained. One prefers thinking analytically, and the other prefers thinking artistically. But now that I look at that comment, one of the two groups is definitely having more fun than the other by the way I worded it.
I've seen analytical types that favored tubes and I've seen artistic types that favored solid state. I've seen lots of designers that were the other way around. Same with speakers, I know one guy that designs single driver speakers that is decidedly engineer and another that is most definitely artist. Just two ways of looking at the picture, I suppose. Kind of yen and yang or something.
