Speakers with wide baffle are generally "you’re are there". Those with narrower baffle tend to be "they are here". That's why monitors are usually "they are here" and of course some of that because most monitors don't have a lot of bass.
The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic
Hi all,
I want to start a topic about the “They are here” vs “You are there” type of sound. I have read that different audiophiles usually fall in one of either categories, but what does it actually mean? So here a few questions:
- what is the definition of “They are here” vs “You are there” in your opinion?
- what is the main difference in sound? E.g. soundstage
- which kind of sound do you prefer?
- which type of speakers fall in one or the other category in your opinion?
- what type of sources, amplifiers or even cables fall in one or the other category in your opinion?
For instance, I believe the Esoteric products from Japan fall in the they are here type of sound. Do you feel the same?
