Crutchfield's Speaker Compare


Hey everyone, for those in the market for new speakers, Crutchfield now has something called "Speaker compare", in which you can select up to 4 speakers and make sound comparisons online using your computer and a pair of headphones. Although not all the speakers models are available for audition at the moment, a lot are, and I think it’s a great alternative for those (like me) who cannot audition speakers in person. You can compare several songs at the same volume or at the same wattage. I am not associated with Crutchfield at all. I think it’s a great tool and a good start!
Cheers y’all!

Fascinating, and +1 to Cfield for spending time and treasure to make the attempt to allow ’virtual comparisons’ at all. *S*

I don’t own a pair of ’phones, and haven’t for over a decade. But even listening to the ’sample’ units through my monitor Walshs’, there is subtle but noticable differences between them. luciano33 is lucky to have a pair of speakers that already exists on their list. That in itself gives him an opportunity to hear what those units sound like through their system.
It does allow to create a ’benchmark’; ’X’ sounds like "X" so one could perhaps note ’those differences’...especially if one can apply a track from ones’ computer.....

I did enjoy the ’forest’ of calibrated mics in their chamber, though. ;;)
