I was at the Florida auto show a couple of years ago when I went into a large room with huge expensive speakers and the dealer had put on a record that made the speakers sound as if they were blown...... I was wondering what he could possibly be thinking.
Shortest Product Demo Ever: Had to Hit the Eject Button and Get the #*@% Out of There?
I recall in the early 80’s an employee of mine was really hot on a speaker line and insisted that I stop by their demo room at an audio show (I’m thinking Conrad Hilton in Chicago?)
I, literally, made it 1 1/2 meters into the room and had to do a full about face and get out of there. The sound was definitely NOT music to my ears.
Later, I finally gave in and reluctantly agreed to bring in the speaker line. The speakers got better over time, as well as the other stuff sending music to them. I developed a fond relationship with the company over many decades, and do performance upgrades on them yet today.

@ozzy62 "You can mention the speaker brand," Okay ... drum roll please ..
Cornwalls I discovered a lot about Klisch a very short time after the delivery truck arrived at my store. Such as don’t remove a Cornwall off the truck by yourself. With a firm grip on the Cornwall, I felt a severe pain in my back. My first impulse was to let go and just drop it. Then, I remembered the purchase order how muchI paid for it. So, I gently eased the speaker carton to the ground and THEN writhed in pain. I was 32, fit, AND injured. It got better after that. Discovered that Klipsch, in general, are hypersentive, dislike "mid-fi", and will reveal any wart upstream from them. Room included. Eventually, I learned to like them (particually at low volume levels).Years later, the speaker geek in me couldn’t keep my hands off of them, so I begin working on correcting Klipsch's errrors of commission and ommission (most speakers have both). Modded Klipsch’s can’t quite match the comfy feeling of a polite British loudspeaker, but can be quite soothing, musical, and dynamic if stuff is removed/upgraded in the signal path thjat makes them sound worse. I like to make my wife custom greeting cards for special occassions. Thanks for content suggestions. I might edit it just a bit. @asvjerry "She isn’t suggesting what I could do for her, but what we could do together." Think I might "borrow" this line for one of those custom cards to my wife. It does fit our relationship (and her) pretty well. |
