Post Subject: What I am attracted to.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 2/10/2019
What I suddenly got attracted is not to the transparency of horns
but the transparency as a concept. Let me to explain. All my audio live I had
an eversion to what I call “chrome bumpers”. The chrome bumpers are fine
finished or high color audio elements that made to be attractive. When I see
high colored horns, high gloss amplifiers or manufactures who charge premium prices
because R and L speakers have symmetrical wood grain I want to vomit. These barbaric
“audio attractiveness” objectives are light miles way from what I feel
important in audio. I do not deny healthy pursue in aesthetic including in
Audio but for whatever reasons the “chrome bumpers” in audio made me very
uncomfortable. Perhaps it is because I seen too many people in audio who keep
polish their chrome bumpers and musical did not developer themselves further than
a few audio test disks…
Anyhow, for me the visual absence of playback is very important
factor. I have a tendency to have everything back, tend to listen in dark and
to get the things best I very frequently close my eyes. There is a twist in all
of it. If hypothetically to presume that the entire playback is visual transparent
or closed to be transparent then it opens a pandora box for very different type
of playback/room interaction in case the installation is large and elaborate. I
always had a fantasy to have a playback installation made in a shape of garden where
audio elements are intermingled with garden elements. I think with transparent
horns this might be done in very interesting ways.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
