Making a product to sell and the need for modernity

That's a rather odd observation from a guy who often insists others provide the results of controlled, scientific, double-blind listening tests. |

even now the vast majority still fails to include wire and power right up there with speakers
" The "vast majority" who enjoy this hobby, probable have a good reason for that. It's not that most haven't done some research or are ignorant to this subject. And most include some of these products, perhaps at a more modest price with good results. I'm not sure of the relative expense (wire to speakers) you are talking about, but (IMO) if you have good quality, basic power cables and the budget to upgrade, wire will not come close to better speakers. I understand if you do have problems with noise in your system, this must addressed first, but usually can be done at a modest price. Way more diminishing returns on wire than speakers. Cables and wire should be matched to your particular components, neutral and noise free. |
Digital streaming is far and away the big area these days where products can be easily differentiated by the approach they take and features delivered. Other than that, for the most part, there are more options for good sound than ever at more favorable price points. Good sounding products are more abundant than ever in general at various price points though some products offer clearly unique and novel value, for example, OHM Walsh speakers with their ability to expand the "sweet spot" for listening to the entire room. |
