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....
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 !!!

I hope he understands the meaning of the word, conclusion, as he used it in his title, and spare us any more.

Because I dont believe it. That is the opposite conclusion I have come to. The conclusion I have come to as Ive already stated is that any differences heard can be one of two things. Either it is imaginary or the difference is contrived. The frequency response graphs often show these obvious differences between different speakers. Are you trying to tell me these cannot be heard? If so, who is deaf, me or you? 
Imaginary differences are certainly plausible. Why do you think they spare no expense in achieving such beautiful looking speakers? It is because THEY know that WE will fall for it.

I didnt say nobody can hear differences. I am saying that it can be due to imagination or due to contrivances. There are many tricks at the disposal of speaker engineers in order to make us believe that we are hearing better sound. If that subsequently enables them to sell more speakers they will do it. The differences people claim to hear also need to be considered in the context of differences in peoples hearing loss, poor listening environments, room treatments, listening position and so on.
I would ask you if you ever tire of spouting out nonsense, but unfortunately this clearly isn’t a possibility. If this hobby we all love (as in everyone but you apparently) is such a fraud why haven’t you moved on? You don’t add anything meaningful or positive to the conversation. Such as a sad way to get attention Kenjit.
