We all know that a lot goes into enjoying sound. I noticed that when I go to a local record shop who has hung 4 old Akai speakers on chains being driven by some old receiver and who knows what turntable, I just love hearing the music that it produces. Maybe it's more about the part of the experience of finding great music, being out of the house, being in a different element, being in a great mood.
Is it all worth it?
So this week I re-foamed a pair of Boston Acoustics a40 series ii speakers I bought 30 years ago for not very much at all by audiophile standards. Put them in my 12x12 sunroom running of my main system which has very good source and amplification and these things are blowing me away. You could find a pair online or at your local thrift shop for around $50. Why bother spending the big bucks? Really makes one think.
