The conclusion I've reached about speakers


After years of listening to box speakers the conclusion I have come to is that:

All speakers sound the same

A big speaker does more bass and goes lower. A bookshelf gives no bass and cant go as loud. 

Any other differences are either imaginary or DELIBERATELY contrived to make them sound better to the unsuspecting buyer.

The ONLY other differences aside from sound quality are the price and appearance. Prices can vary substantially and so can the way a speaker looks.

In other words, everything we thought about speakers is all wrong.

If this hobby we all love (as in everyone but you apparently) is such a fraud why haven’t you moved on?
I have moved on and I implore YOU to do the same. Why haven't YOU moved on yourself? 

Musicians and audio lovers are far from tone deaf.
You would think that but you'd be surprised. Ive been to more than one demo where speakers were put in horribly echoey rooms and wired out of phase but nobody seemed to hear it or care except me. I ordered them to put them back in phase and they immediately complied.

Perhaps a hearing test might be worthwhile....
It would not I'm afraid. Ever heard of a fellow by the name of Beethoven? He had bad hearing but it didnt stop him being a great musician. Conversely, having perfect 20-20khz hearing doesnt make you a brilliant audiophile. You could still be tone deaf.

It is all clear now, kenjit is indeed deaf (much like Beethoven in his later years) and he only remembers how speakers sound, no wonder they all sound the same to him...
Two points...

Different speakers in the same room sound different... and...

The same speaker in different rooms sounds different. 
Kenjit, maybe you should go to an audiologist and have your ears checked. If you think all speakers sound the same your ears are bad because I can hear when speakers are bright warm cold hard edgy. I guess you just don't have very good ears. LOL
