Gene, you know me very well and you know that I read closely,
and you know my attention to detail!
I absolutely love music, I love good music and I like to enjoy listening.... Some of the better moments were a classical consert in Musicverein in Vienna (where they do the new year conserts) and also the Kate Bush concert in London last year.... I want to renew some of these moments sometimes... so I'd like to sit down and listen to 'An Architect's Dream' and 'Aerial Tal' and many other nice songs ..... For this I need a system that can play music and make me forget about time and place, you can't measure musical pleasure. At least I can't
You're detailing a lot of tech specs that doesn't really say so much about how a product will make you enjoy the music, what is these parts in this sense?
Good specs doesn't warrant a well sounding speaker, does it?
Some speakers with really good specs are absolute crap ... Like some of the Marten design speakers, that I just even can't listen to, they give me a headache....
Look to one of John Atkinson's all time high favourites, the Harbeth P3ESR,
Tech specs like this:
Two-way, sealed-cabinet, stand-mounted loudspeaker. Drive-units: 0.75" (19mm) magnetically shielded, aluminum-dome tweeter; 5" (110mm) magnetically shielded, Radial2-cone woofer.
Frequency response: 75Hz–20kHz, ±3dB.
Nominal impedance: 6 ohms
Sensitivity: 83.5dB/2.83V/m.
Recommended amplification: >15W. Power handling: 50W program.
Dimensions: 12" (306mm) H by 7.5" (189mm) W by 8" (202mm) D, including grille and terminals. Weight: 14 lbs (6.3kg).
They're probably one of the better speakers around when it comes to reproducing music, depending on the requirements of the user, they just don't play everything....
You can't play loud, there's no bass, they're bears to drive ..... but absolute magic !
I admire and highly respect what you're doing but an article with main focus on specs doesn't do that much, at least not for me, but maybe I'm different from everyone else around here. I don't care a microsecond about specs, how impressive bass it is, how loud they can play.... If the system doesn't make me enjoy the music, then it's just a piece of crap .... no matter what the tech specs say. If it makes me enjoy the music it's good ... no matter what the tech specs say
I like what you do, and I think you do a very good job, but maybe there's room for improvement
This is just my opinion, I know a bunch of people here hate me till the end of the world for being who I am and stating my opinion the way I do but that's not my problem. Fire your guns guys
The most important thing is:
Sit down and enjoy the music
