When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you?
When auditioning new speakers have you ever listened to a pair you thought you really liked only to realize you didn’t like them at all after seeing their measurements/specifications? And I’m not talking about speakers that would be too difficult for your electronics to drive but rather, you just didn’t like their waterfall plot, or their frequency response or some other measurement even though subjectively, you loved the way they sounded? Conversely have you ever listened to a pair of speakers you did not care for only to change your mind after seeing their specs?
Assuming speakers can be easily driven by your home electronics, in other words, no compatibility issues related to sensitivity or impedance, what is the single most important thing you look for when finding speakers you’ll enjoy listening to? How do you go about confirming the speakers you buy will be enjoyable to listen to in your home system?
You’re definitely right about that. I see a lot of guys with high dollar systems, where they have way too big a speaker for the size of their room. It’s like the tuner who dials up more horsepower than a chassis can handle. That same chassis with less power can in many instances go around a race track faster. |
Good point, let’s say both speakers are in the same ballpark, not a significant difference between the speakers at all, or let’s even say they cost the same. How will you determine which ones sound best in your home? |
@nitrobob what about Tesla? They offer better pay and benefits than all current UAW contracts, so a better compensation and benefits package for their workers who are not paying union fees (tax) to the UAW who would otherwise provide them less pay and benefits than Tesla does. Or is this about union solidarity over higher benefits and pay for workers? Tesla also has the highest percentage of American sourced parts of any automobile manufacturer in North America. |
