I'm thinking of going back my Koi hobby ...
All amps sound the same ... no upgrade there.
All speaker cables sound the same ... no upgrade there.
All CD players sound the same ... no upgrade there.
You guys are boring.
I can barely distinguish the difference between speakers ... no upgrade there.
Subwoofer differences are far from night and day differences above a certain price point ... too expensive to buy them all.
This is getting boring.
Am I the only person in the world who can't hear NIGHT and DAY differences between speakers?
Am I the only person who can't say: "my new sub is like ... wow!" "I'm at a loss for words" "There's so much BS words of praise I can say I can't pick one!" - you get the point, go search the forums for the NIGHT and DAY differences they hear.
I mean, there's so much HYPE out there for new stuff that when I do get the new item, i am SO disappointed. I mean, sure there's an improvement when it comes to subs, but "it rocked my house" is kinda generic. Check out this example: search the forums for posts about the F113, you will see things like "I can't believe this is the greatest sub out there"; a few posts up, somebody who gets a new ultra (who happens to have the F113 as well) says "this is 10x better than my F113"
How can that be?! How can the greatest subwoofer be improved upon in multiples!? c'mon! the F113 is just an example, countless other subs before it was "the greatest subwoofer you can buy for X$ and even 3x X$".
Am I deaf!? Am I numb? where is the freakin kick in the chest!?
When I was choosing my amp (Rotel RMB1077), based on the forums, this amp can cook my breakfast! it sounds better than rotel amps whose power is 4x stronger! ha!, that was the biggest setup of HYPE balloon popping ever.
