Words and Sound

Huh? 🤔

I'm thinkin' this is a boxer, tighty whities, or a commando, thing.

I meant ...the founders created the brand names to sound like their sound....

OP is off on so many levels. Tannoy is both Hard/Cold/Analytical and Neutral? 3 letter companies are in different categories. Audiolab, Pass Labs, the words are soft? What's colder than a lab? 

At lease he got this one right:

Cheers,

I second the Huh?

You know, I never really thought about this before. But what does a world-destroying robot need with diapers?

Hearing and translating what is heard from any component, cable, rack, etc., …is, well, so subjective, that it is not even funny. Let’s all adjust our hearing aids and measure our ears to add to the subject of what we “hear”. One persons brightness might be another persons cats meow. One persons lack of highs might be another persons “this is the shiznit”, as stated from Little Nicky. 
 

That is why when I read reviews or when I write my own reviews from my own perspective, it is and should be taken with a grain of salt. Sure, when more people, so statistically speaking, write positive things about audio stuff, the tendency is to believe that what is written, is the truth. Well, not entirely true. We all hear differently so you can’t say Tannoy is cold or neutral because it probably is not with certain people. How do audio things get stereotyped into sound categories? A few people write something, or a review, and then, wham, such and such is the best cold analytical device that you can buy…go buy now, because it is sterile in presentation and offers no explanation for its cold sound, a little satire mixed in here. 
 

Theoretical conversation between customer and dealer, Should I get the hard cold B&Ws for my overdamped 3” inch pile carpet listening studio, or the neutral Tannoy for the same room? The room is going to alter to some degree what you hear, on top of your own hearing deficiencies, if any…let’s measure your hearing first, then we can go from there. 
 

Just get what you like and live with the consequences, both, good or bad. You always have the option to experiment and change things up, but not before getting a hearing test, LOL. 

I am not sure how to quote a msg to reply, 

re Perhaps, the OP had too much rum in his eggnog.>> I realize that this theory is bit strange but still... maybe people with thinner names like thinner music... you will agree that the both the words and the sounds od Focal and Klipsh sound colder than Harbeth and Sonus Faber... often strange things happen....

 

re But what does a world-destroying robot need with diapers?>> did not catch that, please explain.

re Hearing and translating >> still I think we can all agree that Focal and Klipsh sounds colder than Harbeth and Sonus Faber.

 

OP.

That's quite the blanket statement. 

You're not only painting with broad strokes, you're using a industrial push broom to do it.

Gort. He's wearing diapers. Why?

For millercarbon

i see the diapers now!

Kent Engineering Foundry….. Obviously you haven’t heard anything they built under Raymond C.

Eggnog tastes just like it sounds….nasty…

I agree with the first post. To me analytical is accurate, but what do I know?🙃

But what does a world-destroying robot need with diapers?

Klaatu barada nikto.

 

Is Klaatu a robot like me?

Elac -- He doesn't laaak it!

Kenwood -- Clint Eastwood's accountant brother.

Marantz -- I want less of 'em, not mare of 'em, in my pants.

SOTA -- because the gear sounds watery and fizzy.

Okay, I'll stop now...

 

Bose-- Strangely, none of the bows ever used a ribbon.

 

 

 

"But what does a world-destroying robot need with diapers?"

Depends.

Another possibility.....Maybe that's not a diaper Gort is wearing. I once saw someone wearing his underwear outside of his pants during spring break in Ft. Lauderdale. Gort certainly had the means to stop off there before going on to Washington. Definitely a possibility to ponder?

 

Right that was Washington Gort. London had Gort 2.0

 

Where would you place Esoteric in describing their sound?

Esoteric? Sounds enteric. 

Gort wears shorts to shield his norts....'thillies' (fay, what....)

What's in a name?  A batch of hopes to some; as to why, some explain easily.  Most want to tease an imagination, a candle for the moth...pick your flame. *s*

@tomic601 ....which is Precisely why alcohol is added to eggnog.
After a time, one could call it spheresnot and it'd still be consumed...😏

 

" 'Boto of mine, junk on the line
When you're C://format is over
Find me a loan, pipe 'n a stone
Then go unplug the damn rover..."

you think monitor audio are hard cold and analytical which models are you listening to because I've listened to both the gold generation 5 and I own the platinum 200 Gen 2 and neither of those models are hard cold and analytical maybe the equipment you have connected to them is the problem because those speakers are not hard cold and analytical sorry.

X Havocman

I find MA generally cooler compared to Sonus Faber, Harbeth...  Probably some MA models are less cold than others, also not all brands in each section are equally cold or warm and certainly some models of each brand could even be moved to other section. Sometimes generalisation is a necessary evil.

@millercarbon 

Is he not like an old Harley that left an oil trail everywhere it went? Why did Harley not make an after market diaper?

 

Gort’s Schiit is cold and hard. 

The old time Harley riders would carry a baby moon hub cap and put under the bike to catch leaking oil when psrked. :-)))

Hmmm… there’s no commonality when it comes to a speaker and a human ear… unless we can conclude that if we pass around the same Q-tip… well… then we should all marvel at the same speaker?

Because in this era robot were designed to mimic man, now man is designed to mimic robot...

They will meet and fuse at the middle of the road tomorrow...

 

 

 

Gort. He’s wearing diapers. Why?

Two of my favorite science fiction movies as a kid.  Plus, of course, The Crawling Eye.  These are still some of my all-time favorites.  I wish that my audio rack was as awesome as the rack in that picture of Forbidden Planet. 😁

All you have to do is buy some KRELL gear. Lpl

I read nearly all of Ray Kurzweil's books and studied AI. It is a fascinating subject for sure. Two books I recommend reading about the subject of when AI and humans will have equal intelligence, The Singularity is Near, and the other book, How to create a Mind (How mankind will need to adapt to AI level thinking when it is more prevalent). 
 

 

My Tannoys are certainly not cold or hard sounding.....

Thanks for your recommendation ...

I consider the transhumanism cult of technology and his desctruction of science, the worst ideology ever conceived by mankind...

Any past ideologies and mass hypnotic religions were born to save mankind from some evil, then scapegoating a part of humanity ONLY...

This cult dont scapegoat some humans amongst others , they erased them all at the end ....

For they want to kill human for their own benefit a piece after another, incrementally.... You see what they means?

They reduce knowledge to some part of science, and they reduce this part of science to some HIVE technology...

Transhumanism is pure evil controlled and summon by corporate powers who do not answer to any democratic countries...This crisis now is a text book example of this...

Only Science fiction and artists are able to depict them really....

I cannot go further in this thread...

The transhumanism cult is a surprizing child of the genius of the 17 century Bernard Mandeville who depict man after Descartes like a "workable animal" which could be controlled at will....Mandeville created single-handly Capitalism and his means of controls of the mass , which in the heretic communism cult were deviated and used....Transhumanism is born from the nazi technological method but go over the nazi in creating a pure technological HIVE not like Hitler with an archaic vicking religion but with a pure technological religion...No trees are need here....

If someone is not afraid of what is behind this cult he is asleep and dont understand it at alll....

Consumerism successfully has conditioned people to speak the lanugage of music using the language of engineering, reducing music to electronics and putting acoustic experience behind...

The sound we hear come from the EARS/ SPEAKERS / ROOM relation, way more than from a dac or a turntable and from an amplifier...

The sound of an instrument has a " timbre playing tonal micro-structure" to be perceived and seen in surfaces dynamic and volume in your room ...The sound is not cold or analytical , neutral, or wet and musical...

These description of sound has no relation to music but to engineering...

A voice timbre and an instrument timbre CANNOT be cold, neutral or wet.....

These words are an example of the transfer of mass consumerism marketing technology vocabulary to people and their conditioning of the music experience in a detached "sound" experience and with no relation to ACOUSTIC and psycho-acoustic... And no musical education...

You see the relation between technology conditioning and market capitalism

here?

If I hear the word "musical," as it applies to audio components one more time I'm gonna puke.

What the F is that supposed to mean???

Gort wears shorts because he's the bashful sort.

If Superman can wear diapers, then anyone can.

Why hide behind a smoke screen? Just be out front and give your opinion about how you feel towards the sound of these various speakers. Let me guess which ones you like...

It's not a diaper. It's a Speedo. He wears it because he knows he's so gorgeous all the women are staring at him all the time and he wants them to get max thrills.
