why do my $40 logitech speakers sound better than my $120 edifer speakers?
My PC speakers (2.1 - desktop with a sub on the floor) are so good that I haven't bothered to change them since 2004. They are also made by Logitech and came supplied with my Dell PC branded as Dell Zylux A425. The sound is small scale and the bass is fairly indistinct, but it does add some necessary weight. The rest of the sound is uncannily life-like in tone. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-A425-Computer-Speakers/dp/B004572U48 |
mesch: Yes, I didn't watch much TV until the late 1990's (1999 to be exact) and missed gobs of stuff. Loved Bryan Cranston in the Malcom sitcom, though later on only watched a few episodes of "Breaking Bad", as I found it too depressing (though realistic). Funny... in that I started watching TV just a year, or so, before owning my first CD deck. The biggest hit/series that both myself and my wife enjoyed equally @ the time was "Stargate SG1" starring MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson). I recently started recording "Kolchak - The Night Stalker" series starring Darren McGavin. Darren was a wine customer of mine (early 90's) when I worked in the food/wine industry and though I made it a point to not bug celebrity clients I broached such by asking him why he had not made a guest appearance on "The X-Files" which (to me) was based upon his much earlier "Night Stalker" series. He replied "that's an excellent question" and I'm going to call/ask my (BLANK) manager the very same when I get back home". Approx. One year later Darren was on the "X-Files", though not wardrobed in the iconic seersucker suit he wore on Kolchak (as I would have preferred). He preferred ripe/fruit forward wines, in the under $10 range, which @ the time tipped towards Australia. Found him a few lower California "field blends" that he also liked (Preston Vineyards comes to mind - though we didn't sell it and I referred him to Safeway Market). Also got him hooked on a French wine (which we did carry) that was excellent, but not his usual choice. It was a 1990 vintage (forget the label, but it referred to a walled city is the best I can recollect) and is was asskick regardless of the 5$ price tag. Almost got fired for ordering 24 pallets of it for my store, but it ended up selling out within a few weeks. DeKay |
