"...tower of nuns..."
Having gone to a Catholic grade school, I snickered @ that, then remembered the scenes from the original Blues Brothers movie.
Monty Python merely drove the spike deeper...
Look, one’s choice of speakers really comes down to taste, preference, and budget. If the latter is not an issue (or one is willing to part with whatever for the sake of the two formers), then the entire fruit stand is open to peruse..
Sidestepping the ’performance’ vs. ’value’ discussion for a second, one will generally choose that which appeals to them on their personal scale of values. This can apply to not just speakers imho, but to equipment as well.
I could be accused of ’tin ears’ (’midst other things) but I’ve noted greater differences between speakers than the equipment driving them.
Since the bulk of equipment available notes ’specs’ that generally ’measure’ by whatever means to be in the fractions of a %....
I’ll note that again....Fractions of a Percent. Already 2 figures Behind the decimal point.....
We’re now at the ’SS vs. Tubes Division’; ’crisp’ vs. ’warmth’ value split.
One might base their speaker selection on what makes that choice appeal to them....and go forth from that.
Now, let’s ignore for brevity the wire and cable conundrum....and the physics that gets discussed endlessly here and elsewhere. I’ll concede that there exists ’differences’ lurking in there....terribly subtle ones.
You may note them; I rarely have. Of late...of self....negligible.
We’ve now arrived at the performance space...i.e., Yours.
(erik’s fav...just teasing, e....;)....)
I have No Clue as to where you’ve plopped the stuff into.
Most posted pics show your stuff...and the wall behind it.
Rarely anything else...well, maybe the side walls, but....
I’ve been lucky (or doomed) to spend time away from my digs and equipment; span of time can be a week...or a month or 3...
There always seems to be (for me) a Period of Readjustment for my ears and mind to ’recalibrate’ to that which I’ve been absent from.
I suspect....that IF I was to visit Anyone’s else’s space and the equipment within that I’d experience something similar.
Yup, I could be impressed...or not.
It’s a high likelihood that I’m not going to experience or note what you’re so thrilled about.
I will note a difference, But....perhaps, not the ’intended’ one(s).....
The differences are most likely in us....ergo, places like this....
The ’discussion’ continues....;)
You are what you listen to.
Carry on, J
