Wow, didn't I just do this? For all the tedium with directed listening to a de-constructed system, 2011 went by in a blink!
This has been for me The Year of the Driver. Much learned, and much yet to learn with repect to choosing, modifying, combining and positioning drivers to get them to sound the way I want them to.
Some very interesting new ideas about "reproduced" music have come from fiddling with the drivers, most of these relating broadly to "sound in space", how musical sound travels through and charges the air and the listening space and the listener, and how to "recreate" these "special effects" in my listening room while maintaing acceptable Tone.
Several sonic "breakthroughs" mean this year will end on a positive, encouraging audio note. Even though I do not yet have my System in place, I do have a pretty good idea how to do it, and also many of the pieces and parts are in the house (somewhere...).
Truth be told, during my best listening sessions this year I enjoyed the best sound, overall, that I have heard from hi-fi; so, all-in-all, A Very Good Year, with much promise for 2012, which I wish for all of you, as well.
Happy New Year,
