Top brand speakers


Could someone with a vast experience with speakers/subwoofers say which ones are the top brands and worth the money.

I will try to explain how it started why my focus is on 3D sound these days.

I started to work in audio in 1998. In the first years I was addicted to it. I went to many shows, distributers and other shops. You hear a lot. You remember the things you like.

In 1999 I bought the 802 Nautilus. I bought it because I loved the sharp individual focus. I knew it did not have a lot of depth, but for me the individuel focus was more important than depth.

We sold Avalon, and I liked the deep and wide stage a lot. But the individual focus of instruments and voices was of a much lower level than my 802N. It was not perfect either.

When you hear and test a lot your knowledge and insight in music and audio grows. Audio can become quite addictive. Also for me. You want more and better. After time I had it in my head what I wanted.

I wanted a big and wide stage, but within this wide and deep stage I wanted the same sharp and realistic focus of instruments as my B&W 800 Signature.

I thought about buying the B&W 800D. But after audition them a few times, I thought; Noooooo...I want a wide and deep stage as well. As a perfectionist you want more and better. It could not give me the thing I wanted.

In 2007 I started to sell Monitor Audio. I bought the whole Platinum series for the shop I worked. I had all the freedom to choose my own products.

These days Monitor Audio gives me the freedom to build a big and wide stage with a sharp and intimate focus within this stage.

When you test and compare all the time. You can create much easier a higher quality in sound.

My way of testing gives me the different properties each tool owns. When you understand and know the properties you can make combinations of tools togheter.

Tools togheter make a sound and stage. You can create it as you want it to become.

I use the properties of the brands I sell. Only these togheter can give me a wide and deep stage, a stunning sharp individual focus, blacks, resolution and an involving sound.

That it why I choose speakers, amps, sources, cables, conditioners who all can build a wide and deep stage.

Because I know that there are a lot more who do not have the quality to build this stage as I want it to be.

I am Always open for new products. I like to audition new audio. When it does not give the properties where I am looking for it is not interesting for me.

Until now I did not find a better way to create a higher endresult. For me it is very effective. But I only can speak for myself.

I understand that it is a lot different than others do. But that is who I am; different!

If you would have read more of my answers you would have know that it is not about me.
And your last post is all about YOU and nothing else!!

Congratulations, you may have set a record for using "I" the most times in a single post!!
I can understand some of the younger audiophiles being obsessed with achieving a 3D soundstage because that's all they know. I've been involved in audio since the mid-1970s and I have evovled beyond 3D, past 4D and I'm now experimenting with N-dimensional sound. Modern physics tells us that while we may only experience three physical dimensions plus time, there actually may exist multiple micro-dimensions. In most 2D or 3D capable systems these micro dimensions are uncorrelated and working against each other, but I have been able to assemble systems that align the sound properties of these micro-dimensions to achieve higher order N-dimensional sound. Not everybody can do this, but I with my extra decades of knowledge can.

I realize that I am beyond even the cutting edge of current audio reproduction and that many will dismiss my claims due to the petty jealousies endemic to the audiophile world, but I will not be deterred. Starting tonight I will be flooding the audiophile internet forums with my non-stop claims of how I can achieve N-dimensional sound. Once you've have an experience with the N-dimensional soundstage that I can produce you'll never go back to simple 3D sound again. Reality is much more real than you think it is and I will relentlessly tell you about it. I know more than you do and I want you to know it too.

Excellent post, but that's not quite how it goes. You have to personify it much more strongly by saying:

"I'm now experimenting with what I call N-dimensional sound".

Please refer to the Bo1972 posting guidelines:

"Or what I call TOTAL SOUND."
"what I call 2-dimensional"
"what I call 3-dimensional sound"
"I call the sound stealth"
"This is what I call intimate sound."

Regards,
You can give it many words as you want. When people still think that it is about me. Then you are F....stuppid!

The essential thoughts are about a better sound for everyone.

Please stop crying, and learn to think further......

Audio Always will be about the most thrilling sound. And the sound what gives you joy for every single day you use it.

When shops focus more on quality instead of more shit then people wil get a better sound.

When distributers will work more togheter instead of only giving a demo based on political choices then people can hear more quality.

When magazines and websites about audio will give a more open an honest view, people will get more quality.

There are many ways to create a better endresult. A 3 dimensional image is just one.

Audio is like a formula one car, improving it on and on. This never stops. That is why I Always will keep on testing and comparing. This improves your skills and insight in audio.

With this information you get give your clients a better endresult. Even mongols in audio can improve their skills. But when they still are F. lazy, nothing is going to change.

So F...off and stop crying. Audio is a personal hobby, so you have to do it yourself most of the time.

I don't ask you to do what I say. I just give some thoughts you can listen at. Nothing more, nothing less.
