Evaluating your speakers
Many, many years ago I recall reading an article that the best way of evaluating your speakers' quality was to play them at a very low volume and hear if the bass, midrange and treble are in the same proportion as when played at medium volume.
Medium volume being defined as not loud enough to induce room acoustics.
My OHM Walsh 4's meet this criteria when placed on a hard surface (vent is on the bottom of the cabinet), not so much when placed on thick carpet.
Anyone recall reading something similar?
That's the SPL test, wait till he tells you about the endurance test. Same thing for 24 hours. The problem is the PD negotiator may not hold out the whole 24 hours. They might rush the joint, then the record will skip for sure. Again, party poopers. :-) Regards I'm a big ol' BOT, so what, so what? Do a little shuffle here.. |
ROFL - I'm dyin' over here... 😂 Back to the OP - @uncleang , I audition speakers at normal volume. With the dozen or so speakers I've owned over the years, I don't think I've ever varied the volume while listening and evaluating. |
