Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)


Are there other people so much amazed by a relatively low cost system , they consider that is not a stopgap but instead a minimally satisfying ectasy... Each day i am amazed by my speakers and headphone... Am i deaf? Am i ignorant of high end ? Be assured that i know better system with higher acoustic experience and more refined exist ...

My point is an experienced and felt minimal threshold of acoustic qualities and well done and well realized and well manifested acoustic factors exist for me and are at play, for the price invested; so much so , i consider any upgrade way less tempting and if possible would be more, way more , costlier to appear as a real upgrade in quality... For sure an upgrade of part at low cost unbeknowst to me is possible but i must live with what i have for now but i feel no frustration at all. 😊

Am i the only one deluded in this way or enlightened in this way ? Pick your choice of word.... 😎

For sure what my Tannoy dual gold concentric could do , never my small active 4 inches woofer from M-audio even heavily modified as i did, can do it...😁

But guess what ! 😊

Not knowing acoustics and nothing about audio at the times i owned the Tannoy , i enjoy more right now and i had more acoustics balanced factors experience with these very low cost M-Audio speakers compared to the better refined design of the mythical Tannoy which anyway i never learned to use at their optimum ( i was frustrated by the sound changing amp and never thinking about the Tannoy embeddings in the house/room). 😁

The main point of this thread is this : knowledge most of the time beat price tags and if it is not the case , basic electrical, mechanical and acoustical knowledge can anyway takes any system to his optimum workings and we can bodly go where no one had gone before with the same speakers... 😊

Thanks a lot for your informative post  which will add weight to the idea that money alone dont define audio experience ....

 

Op I have 2 main systems where I compare my low cost system, musicality and musical involvement is very close. But liveness and hearing more that’s where my main 2 systems shine. Low cost systems can only do so much not enough to beat my main systems. What the Andra and my KLH does the ELac can’t.

I am not amazed but I can appreciate a low cost system that sounds nice.  The decision comes when something really outperforms and then you have to consider spending a little more for that sound.

 

Enjoy.

Usually i dont signal post and even in the past i had not signal the post of someone accusing me of killing people during covid discussion here in Audiogon...

Then i do not ask and never asked the audiogon person assigned to survey all thread to censor a post even one accusing me of murder...Then....

I can defend myself without signalling a post....

is this clear for all ?

 

 

But this idiot above instead of writing his opinion in one sentence : "The OP wrote too much and had a big ego", which is at least not completely false, 😊 pollute the thread by idiotic repetition...😁

I ask this hateful idiot to remove his post... And replace it by a one sentence insult...We can ignore one sentence insult coming from idiot...

If he do not remove his post himself , i signal his post in a public way to the Audiogon responsible person in charge to remove it instead of doing it covertly because this post is not only useless, but polluting the thread...I act here always openly and hate to signal people and never do it covertly ..

Thanks...

 

 The audiogon person in charge can after erasing the post above erase mine because it will not make any sense... Thanks in advance  to the audiogon service person...

It is also my general attitude and we are not alone it seems...

Except i am amazed as some others people by their low cost system... Probably luck in synergy and better embeddings controls are Key for amazement ...

Thanks for your opinion...
