@cd318 everything I read about HIIT indicates it is every bit as good for general health as the 3 times, 30 minutes vigorous per week (which seems to be creeping up), if not better. I really like the rowing machine. I am often surprised at the muscles that can be sore after 1 minute.
Interesting situation! Do we need this....
I had a very interesting and unsettling experience that brings this hobby all together...or rips it apart. Recently, I bought a pair of Fluence SX6 speakers, on sale at Amazon for $120 pair. A small, black, two way bookshelf speaker. Highly-positively reviewed. My plan was to pull the drivers to use in another project. I couldn't buy drivers and crossovers like this for $120(More on this later)...Anyways, I was listening to my new kit amplifier, AKITIKA Z4 that I recently built...Streaming Quobuz...The Fluance speakers were set up next to the KEF LS50 Metas as I had used them previously to test yet another kit amplifier, Nelson Pass' ACA Mini.....For six hours I was simply amazed at how great the AKITIKA kit amp sounded. Massive sound stage, tight, well defined bass, some of the best vocals I've heard, the "AIR" around jazz instruments was fantastic!.....a system to behold...playing through my KEF LS50 Metas....Six hours later, after all types of music, it was time to call it a night (or early morning)....As I go to shut down the system, I realize that all night I was listening to the Fluance speakers!!! They were placed side by side with the KEFs. Do we really need any of this high end equipment to really enjoy the music!

@rbertalotto Your story is amazing and I've had similar experiences with low cost gear. It always amazes me when reviewers focus on how expensive the gear they're reviewing costs. You would think a reviewer would gain more attention by finding the 'diamonds in the rough'. I'm sure there are others, but I enjoy watching Steve Guttenberg (The Audiophiliac) and Steve Huff on their YouTube channels for reviewing a variety of gear based on SQ and not price. |
perhaps this topic should be banned since it is clear that there is nothing to discuss. tastes are tastes. instead, try to explain what makes something sound great. but I think that the OP is really looking for validation that cheap speakers can sound good to him. we can't give that, you know, since they sound great to YOU. |
