Pretty soon we'll be seeing one liter engines zipping "funny cars" down the dragstrip! They are getting a 3 ton truck up to 60 in 6 seconds with a 213 Cu/In engine. In the 80s that would have taken a high performance 350 or 400. It would have been a 427 in the 60s. Engines have come a long way. Apparently so, but somehow it reminds me of the guys who used to tell me that those little Bose speakers put out the same quality of sound as theater-sized klipschorns or wharfedales or other large, horn-loaded speakers, or that "surround sound" is "more real" than what you hear at an acoustically correct concert hall with proper miking. I never believed that...taste, after all, is subjective. I have a CD of Mischa Maisky playing Bach cello suites I play frequently, and I've seen him perform in a small concert hall. I used to lug a copy of that CD around to audio stores when I was thinking of getting different speakers. The CD sounded like **** to me on new technology small speakers...the cello sounded like a viola, which is tuned an octave higher. Your ears and your expectation of what "good" music reproduction sounds like is very subjective. Your brain is an excellent equalizer so if you listen to music often on poorly performing speakers it can start to sound ok. Your brain replaces what is missing. You just can't do an instant "A", "B" test because you'll immediately notice the difference. Surround sound sucks usually because people over-do the rear "reflectance" sounds in terms of amplitude. Set up properly you shouldn't even notice that there are read or side speakers at all. Surround is really for movies anyway where it is specifically recorded to use the side and rear speakers as origin points, like a helicopter circling over your head or something. I agree. I don't really notice the surround on our 5.1 systems until we play a movie that uses all of it. I suppose they could record music in 5.1 but there is not a lot of it around. |
