As for little speakers, I'm just not convinced how well they can defy the laws of physics, especially in the mid to lower ranges. My father in law had an array of Bose speakers, professionally installed, and when I first heard them, I thought they sounded like what you'd hear in the average four speaker car radio system...but I never told him that, of course. Sounds like your father, God rest his soul, did two things wrong - fathered a liar and didn't match speakers to the requirement. Professional installation of the wrong speakers doesn't mean ****. Get over yourself Krause. -- My father preferred a Hammond B3 with a Leslie speaker. My father in law was the Bose fan. I'm not sure you are in a position physically to judge the quality of musical output from speakers. Krause, I will say it again. Normal people buy speakers that produce sounds they enjoy. You, obviously, prefer speakers which have suitable (to you) numbers. What your father preferred has absolutely no bearing on anything, except perhaps to lend some braggadocio to your arrogant arguments. You're really stuck on yourself, eh Krause? -- You brought up my father So what? I didn't read 'father-in-law'. I saw the word 'father' and went no further. Apparently your father didn't give a rat's ass about whether his speaker sounded like the NSO, eh? -- It helps to understand what you are reading...someone you frequently demonstrate you cannot do. |
