The conclusion I've reached about speakers


After years of listening to box speakers the conclusion I have come to is that:

All speakers sound the same

A big speaker does more bass and goes lower. A bookshelf gives no bass and cant go as loud. 

Any other differences are either imaginary or DELIBERATELY contrived to make them sound better to the unsuspecting buyer.

The ONLY other differences aside from sound quality are the price and appearance. Prices can vary substantially and so can the way a speaker looks.

In other words, everything we thought about speakers is all wrong.

Perhaps a hearing test might be worthwhile....
"Studio monitors are designed to sound bad. They are a tool used for analysis. Hifi speakers need to sound good. They are for enjoyment. Directivity is a matter of preference. There is no correct choice, theres only PREFERENCE."
Kenjits post from today in another thread. So if accurate sounds bad and speakers need to be "massaged" to sound good your whole argument is ignorant. No correct choice its only PREFERENCE!! That's the opposite of the argument you have been trying to give forever. Thick headed di#####t. 

Perhaps a hearing test might be worthwhile....
It would not I'm afraid. Ever heard of a fellow by the name of Beethoven? He had bad hearing but it didnt stop him being a great musician. Conversely, having perfect 20-20khz hearing doesnt make you a brilliant audiophile. You could still be tone deaf.
You have to remember that the same audiophiles that think they hear a difference in speakers are the same people that think they hear differences in cables. Audiophiles have very poor credentials when it comes to judging sound quality.  
Why not to admit that your hearing apparatus is inferior.  If you cannot hear any difference - just say it.  Instead you go into denial claiming nobody can hear it.  Very sad and reflect poorly on your personality.  After many toxic posts like that I surprised that administrators allow you to post anything !  Are you that pathetic that you need attention daily, posting nonsense?  Shut up, man !!!
