In the Thread: Speakers: a hi-fi disaster.
Post Subject: It isn't knowledge but self-awareness.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/17/2005
Actually I would like do not use the post above as a promotion of a specific speaker or a specific topology - it is what the cretins from Audiogon do. I’d rather like to suggest whoever cares to think about our idiotic consumer conformism when we, the consumers, bless speakers’ manufacturers with our outrages foolishness.
I am not kidding here: among all commercial speakers that I have heard (and it was quite a numbers of models) I do not know any of them that would performance-wise be worth more then $2000. There is an army of very inexpensive, a few tens or hundreds dollars worth, loudspeakers that perform “no good not bad” - just like nothing. However, I absolutely assure you that in the scale of proper evaluation methods those speakers perform way more interesting (musical) then a high-end crap that cost $20.000-$80.000
Unfortunately the Morons-audiophiles do not recognize any musical results or an acoustic neutrality – they recognize only hi-fi glitz and the damn chest-pressure. I remember 4-5 years ago I foolishly brought in my home one retarded NH distributor who was sitting infront my playback and while I’ was playing for him music he was asking me: “Ok, and where is the Sound?”
So, boys and girls, next time when you meet your dealer and prepare to pay 86.000.000 for a new model of horribly sounding Karhmas, then please ask your dealer WHAT MUSICAL BENEFITS you will get with those speakers in compare to your crappy $150-worth Scott, JBL or EV.
I assure you that you will fire your dealer as soon you hear his answer…
Rgs,
