Recommendations for Vintage Speakers

You need to take a refresher course in reading comp 101 pronto. You are confusing me with the other dude cleeds who was responding to my original statement.

Quick recap,

... for live music there is no absolute sound since all auditoriums, symphony halls, night clubs, etc. sound different. AND - depending on where one is sitting or standing in a given venue - the sound will be different.

But whatever that sound is, of live unamplified music, that is the absolute sound. And for that matter, many French horns, or violas, or trombones sound different from their brethren. That doesn’t mean each doesn’t create its own absolute sound.

Sorry, dude. I did not say that. I said the opposite. Cheers! 

In fact the same instrument can sound totally different in different rooms and to different people. It can sound different on different days, in different weather conditions, just like audio systems. End of story. 🤗

"There is no absolute sound."

It’s sad you believe this. There is indeed an absolute sound.

It’s a simple and important concept. The absolute sound is what we experience when we hear live music. It is nirvana for music lovers and thus the ultimate goal for audiophiles seeking faithful reproduction of that experience.

>>>>Not sure I go along with your detective work, pal. Even for live music there is no absolute sound since all auditoriums, symphony halls, night clubs, etc. sound different. AND - depending on where one is sitting or standing in a given venue - the sound will be different. In addition, many home audio systems actually have better sound than many live performances.

Eggs ackley! Accuracy compared to a false image in the mind of what ideal sound is. There is no absolute sound. Accuracy compared to measurements in an anechoic chamber? 😬 in somebody’s audio store? 😛
