At the end it is important that you get the best possible out of any speaker. At the end in most situations it is average till poor. It is seldom that people are able to create a good level out of a speaker. This is based on different aspects. When you are not aware of the properties and d.n.a. of a speaker it is a hard job. Most people think when they buy an expensive speaker they don’t have to spend a lot of money on other parts. This is by far the most made mistake in audio. Most rooms in houses are not easy to be used for Wilson Audio speakers. You need to know how you can adapt it. Even when I ask a question about cables why they choose it and if they can tell me the properties of the cables they use people don’t know. You cannot use cables blind in a set. At the end you will hear a sound and image what is build by all the different properties togheter and the acoustics. Each cable builds the stage differently and also has a different way in sound. That is why you need to understand how music and instruments sound in real. If I can give an advice to each person overhere; please visit a small acoustic live concert. It will give you a new view about music and audio as well. Audio needs a new reference frame so it becomes more easy for people to adapt the sound and stage of each system. In the last months I asked to many people who work in audio if they are aware of all the different properties of each part in the set they demo? No one knew. So I asked a new question to them all; this means that you are not aware of why the sound and stage is what we hear? Most said; I think so. This is audio by trial and error. When you don’t understand why the sound and stage is what you hear it is almost impossible to create the sound you would like. When you don’t have a reference frame ( most even don’t know it) then tell me what is your focus? This is the main reason why all the sets I have auditioned in 18 years of time most were poor till average. It is very clear to me why this is the level in sound what people can create. When I listen to a set at a show and I see which brands people use and how the set is being placed it is clear that there are many mistakes. We are not talking about one mistake, but many. You can spend 500.000 dollar on a set, this does not garantee you anything. I saw at many highend sets exactly the same faults people make at mid level priced audio sets. You would think that the knowledge would be a lot better. But in real it was not. You want the best sound possible for the money you spend. But the way audio is sold by trail and error you always work at a very ineffective way. That is why you need to change it to create a much higher rusult in sound. |
When you use audio by trial and error, you never will get the best sound for the money. I have proven this to many people in a period of 7 years now. When you are not aware that trial and error is ineffective you don't understand it!! Audio is sold by shootout and the most convincing and emotional sound always wins. Because the level of emotion influences what we buy. So you need to create a sound what owns as much diversity and realism of the recording. This is why I work by Tru-Fi. It is more complete and diverse, each person will choose for it. Tru-Fi is based on how humans feel emotions by sound. |

wins. " You may sell audio by "shootout," but I think that's a very poor way to choose an audio component. Nothing is better than long-term listening, imo. I don't need to be "sold" anything. |
