One man answered an add for the piano teacher.You have to remember that the same audiophiles that think they hear a difference in speakers are the same people that think they hear differences in cables. Audiophiles have very poor credentials when it comes to judging sound quality.
"Sir, what are your credentials?"
"I don't have any. I don't know music and I don't play piano"
The conclusion I've reached about speakers
After years of listening to box speakers the conclusion I have come to is that:
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.
All speakers sound the same
