OCD Mikey disses Magico M9

@kofibaffour LANGUAGE!

All the speakers i ever heard in my life sound bad in various ways in a non controlled room...All of them...

There is certainly exception but i dont know them...

And even if a pair of speakers seems to sound good for your ears, be sure that they dont sound at all like they were designed to be at their  OPTIMAL best in  most living room..And the difference in performance  is huge between a living room and a dedicated completely controlled  room.... ( i know that for sure i take 2 years to create one )

I owned the Tannoy dual gold for 40 years and i neve4r heard them really all these years ...

Why?

 Like most audiophiles i ignored  completely the basic acoustics principles and how to use and control the parameters at play and they are intricate and numerous...

 Subjectivist who "Taste" speakers brand  name or objectivist who measured them are in the same bag, they ignore how to set a room to let a specific speakers reach his peak performance ...

Then a reviewer  bash a brand ?  So what...

 All reviewers spoke the same language as the consumers : costlier upgrade of their prefered brand name miraculous gear solution proposition   with no acoustics basic...

Take the speed of sound divide it by the room dimensions and you will know why in my past room the sound wave cross the room 80 times each second interacting with all the acoustic various  material content of the room .... This must ring a bell no ? it ring a bell in my brain when i begun to thought about the way to control these reflections path and pressure nodes...

Nevermind the speakers and his price...

 We always  hear a system /room ....Not a branded name....

I’m not clicking on the above link to artificially enhance OCD Mikey’s profile. 

And why does this guy opinion have any significance?

Reading comments about the Magico M9 on Reddit is better time wasted than the video. Some are quite funny!

A few years back I heard a top praised amplifier company paired up with a top praised speaker company that was all the rage at the time for some folks.  This was at a decent audio show.

This particular room and components sounded about 89th out of 89 rooms, Absolutely horrible.   The source used, room selected, speaker setup, and positioning was about as bad as as it could be and it sure sounded that way.

Felt bad for the designers of the manufacturers who never intended for their products to be displayed and set up like this for the public to hear this way. 

Over time, you kind of learn until you hear things in your room and with your system, setup, you never really know.
