How in the world a flagship product from many decades ago could be categorized non audiophile product today ? as my amplifier for example or my headphone...😁
Price is almost IRRELEVANT in audio...I added the word "almost" because there is quality difference for sure in design and negating this would be stupid to begin with...
Acoustic and basic embeddings controls are way more relevant...
😊 This is so evident i dont see another reason to oppose that than bragging about new branded name products...
My active speakers cost is 200 Bucks... They sound better than almost all headphones WHEN rightfully acoustically embedded and modified ( 6 modifications)...
A speaker box with porthole is an Helmholtz resonator... Take a bundle of straws of THE RIGTH DIAMETER AND VOLUME and compute with your ears/brain in few experiments, put this on the rear porthole, and i go from 85 hertz measured specs to 50 hertz; the timbre is more natural now and the imaging and soundstage include my listening position in nearfield better than almost all headphones at any price ... I call this box speakers audiophile now, thanks to basic acoustic...
