Example: I've heard 802s in three separate showrooms. With Classe, Ayre, Bryston, and Rotel electronics. Two rooms had treatment (one with bass treatment) and one did not. And more, or less the speakers sounded pretty damn amazing. Is there a difference? Sure! But not as much as you make it out to be. A great speaker always has at least something interesting in its sound character, regardless of environment. A garbage speaker is garbage anywhere and everywhere.
Perhaps. I'm really not trying to "make it out to be" anything. Just speaking freely, casually, nonchalantly, and informally from observations.
So B&W Diamonds & CM, Focal Electra, Dynaudio Confidence are GREAT, but the rest (Revel, KEF, TAD, Salk, Philharmonic, ATC, PSB, Paradigm, etc.) are GARBAGE ?
Not taking anything personally here. No offenses. Just casual talk.
Listening to Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone on my 802D2 + Funk + RBH subs now. Bliss.
Love the bass from my subs.
Yeah, I took some cold medications, so I'm probably a little high right now.
