An ANSWER....of sorts......


...or the answer to the question (finally....) :

Is it 'realllly the speakers?'

...or the 'Stuff' needed to "mak'em work Proper."

( emphasis = yours)

If so, ipso facto, something to consider ;)

Your placement WILL vary....

@dr-boop ...Yeah, the funny Llama (Rama Llama Ding Dong, Esq.: Awed Oddness Specialist....) is right on with that absurdvation on 'being sound'....or was it 'being a sound being'....?

Things get complex when the air thins.....;) 😎

@deep_333 ....*L*....and said 'philes' residence is the small bungalow with the 400amp breaker box outside....🤦‍♂️....

Awhile ago, I 'deconstructed' a steel bldg, and moved it onto a former property; one item gleaned was a 'service disconnect' box with a spring-operated knife switch for 440 3-phase power.

'Delightful chunk', it was....gave a loud *CHUNK!* whether it was being dis- or engaged.....

Always thought it'd be 'cute' to have in a corner, but would only trigger a tiny lightbulb....nothing else.

A 'major overkill demo piece', just for the *grins*.
SAF made it DOA....good $'s on the recycle, tho'...

Hey, far be it from moi' to advise major hardware when the room where the wild audio go is the worst offense to the system at hand.... During a reno, I wired the 4 corners of the living space with lines for both speakers and signal....

...no 30K$ cables, just 12g. OFC and decent ICs', wall boxes with proper plates.  
Esoteric cables didn't really exist at the time....

To this day, I wonder if the later owner(s) have noticed their existence....labeled and everything....🤷‍♂️  But it was a subtle 'phile thing to do, as 'posed to a major project in a Vic bungalow in the 'Mission 'hood....

Banks and RE agents don't understand nor know how to hype such....anyways....

I'm happy to keep the fire marshall smiling and the sat service happy when the guy needs to tweak the dish or keep the DVR purring....

Actually had one tech look over what I did to lash this/that/the other together....Understood what I'd done, Liked It...and swapped out my 'jerry-rig' with the company cables and connectors....*!* AND, done up nice 'n sano....

Every now, then, and again....*S*

Yes....spent the bulk of my intrepid tepid existence giving 'jerry-rigged' and /or 'jerry-built' a good rep. ;)

If I want to lift my cables off the floor, I'll make my own, thenkU verily munch....

It will end up looking like a diorama of a hv utility install running 'cross the floor since I'm running 6 pairs plus some IC lines (DVI, 'line' to and backs...)

"Twisted pairs" have a whole new meaning 'round here...

@immatthewj not to worry. Everyone is.


@mijostyn tell me you’re omniscient without using the word.

 

@asvjerry LMFAO*, as per usual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Lending My Full Attention Ostensibly

Erratum: my comment above should’ve read “…me you think you’re…” but I tend to be poor at typing as the crow flies. They make too much distracting racket and I bunny-trail myself; probably why I manage real writing projects more at the tortoise’s speed. Now how the heck did I get onto chordates in an audio forum...

 

[Potentially] Tribally aggro, exclusive pronouns (e.g. we, us, nobody, everybody) used on online fora amuse me. If some of ya’s truly think you can surmise the analytical perception of others ya’ve never spoken with for writings / musings of others ya’ve never spoken with (I’m assuming that second half of the proposition so this claim does have an associated margin of error, if not a noticeable one), I can only imagine (but shan’t) the prowess of ya’s hearing, as applied to any subset of a general population. Hashtag totalitarian intunation?
