    New Fluance Powered Bookshelf Speakers ONLY $199.99!

    I'm pretty sure that's $199 each - not per pair. I think the reviewer was wrong.

    Can anyone recall some blind or double-blind audio or speaker tests?

    Sounds good! As soon as I complete my multi-month, scientifically-controlled, double-blind tests, you guys will be the first to know before I publish! Happy listening until then! :D

    Can anyone recall some blind or double-blind audio or speaker tests?

    Show me any double blind test without time restrictions. Harmon lets people listen for hours comparing speakers? What IC double-blind test lets people compare them for hours? SHOW ME! And of course, no one here is admitting that they have or have not noticed differences in their system over...

    Can anyone recall some blind or double-blind audio or speaker tests?

    Here's another shortcoming about double-blind tests. They are TOO SHORT. This does not invalidate whether people can or cannot hear differences within a two minute span. Can anyone here - I assume you are all into how equipment sounds and care* - say that they've hooked up a nice system and...

    Can anyone recall some blind or double-blind audio or speaker tests?

    Yes, Pogre I'm willing to do the test. But apparently, Randi is not offering this challenge - http://gizmodo.com/307473/pear-cable-ceo-calls-james-randis-1-million-offer-a-hoax As I wrote to jinjuku - I can't seem to change my location on the side - I've gone through all the settings. I live...

    Can anyone recall some blind or double-blind audio or speaker tests?

    Also Beave, thanks for being very reasonable. I'm trying to find that NPR article where there's a shade of color that only a few people can see - though my time will be limited here.

    Can anyone recall some blind or double-blind audio or speaker tests?

    1) Sure, I understand biases. No, I haven't done blinded test. 2) They went from throwaway cables to Monoprice (where I first heard differences) to soundsilver, kabeldirekt, Burson, Morrow MA1.1's, Straightwire to Grover Huffman. 3) Ha! You're trying to disprove me so YOU have to pay for your...

    Can anyone recall some blind or double-blind audio or speaker tests?

    Well, the first time was in 2013 so I can't remember exactly what or how it sounded better. I simply wasn't expecting it at all but it was clearly there. I can hear differences today between others but I'd rather just leave it there but because I don't want to hear from people who don't know...

    Can anyone recall some blind or double-blind audio or speaker tests?

    So you're saying gamma rays don't exist? :confused:

    Can anyone recall some blind or double-blind audio or speaker tests?

    Yes but saying that a bunch of people can't hear or see something doesn't invalidate its existence. Gamma rays anyone?

    Can anyone recall some blind or double-blind audio or speaker tests?

    I think the basic FUNDAMENTAL problem with a number of double blind tests is that they are done in unfamiliar environments, with unfamiliar equipment - often with unfamiliar speakers. I think to validate double blind tests for audio, one could hear differences if you compare other audio...

    volti vs klipsch

    From what I've read the Volti's are much better than the Klipsch's. You should simply ask for $5K speaker recommendations. Sounds like you want something that plays loud. I've read that people do like the JBL 4372's. These are excellent and don't need a sub. http://philharmonicaudio.com/phil3.html

    Speaker Upgrade

    First of all, are you happy with the way your K-horns sounds? I'm assuming there's something about them that you would like to improve. First of all, you should sound-deaden your room if it's highly reflective. My brother who owns K-horns said it makes a big difference. Second, you can eliminate...
