too bad decooney's thread has been 'jacked'
well, there were some pretty useful and interesting comments early on...
Describe the "new HiFi sound"?
Recently had a discussion with an audio friend over the word "musical" and what this word means to each of us with regard to sound from different amplifiers and speakers. Some debate too. And, reading this other comment on Agon once in a while...how some equipment has the "new HiFi sound".
ASK:
Can someone describe this, in your words, what is the new HiFi Sound to you? Examples? Or, opposites of the new HiFi sound, what does this sound like?

It’s annoying and it’s obvious you never owned a truly great 2 channel system. In a thread about "new hifi" you wanna diss me about old hifi? What makes you think that my current setup for two channel is not "truly great"? It measures great, it sounds great, the room is setup great, and this is the best you can do to defend two channel is go to the playground of "mine is better than yours"? OK, here is the "secret sauce" to great two channel. It ain’t the speakers, the electronics, or the cables, it’s the room. When you are "limited" to only two channels it is like crutches. Stereo was designed for three speakers, not two. Not having a center channel is what cripples the room forcing you to sit in a "sweet spot", while the other spots are mediocre or just plain suck. Spending $$$ on gear can’t fix that BUT room treatments can make it a whole lot better. The "secret sauce" is in treating the room and especially treating the ceiling. See the pics in my virtual system to "see" what I mean.

Nice pics! All kinds of super nice 2ch stereo gear, amps, and stereo speakers. Would love to have a nice dedicated stereo listening room to test a bunch of different stereo gear like that. The Acoustic Recipe is to sit and listen. Minimal room treatment, very nice @jjss49 that’s what I wanna do when I grow up. Super Duper Stereo room that is, very cool. Just gotta love it! 👍 |
