Forget your budget for now. Unless you know what sound signatures you like the cost doesn’t mean a thing. Determine what sounds good to you based on the music you like. When you visit shops have your music at hand. play it, listen to it across multiple types of speakers. Do you like detail or do you like bottom end? Lastly, enjoy the ride it’s fun and “eye” opening to hear such differences. Once you know what you like you can begin to zero in on brand and budget.
New to this hobby please help me

But how do i pick without the ability to listen to other brands kef sonus faber etc!! Is golden ear even good what suggestions do you have on hearing lots of brands under one roof. My listening is 50 percent music 50 percent movies.

@wizzard The Typical Speaker is a Directional sound source. Instruments of which there are many, have many types that produce Omnidirectional Sound. A Typical speaker can’t create this sound type, but will produce a sound that is a good reminder of such produced sound. Sound from a PA System will be closer matched to a Typical Speaker as both are Directional sound sources. A speaker in a dedicated audio system is much more refined as a sound than that from a PA System. If a live sound is enjoyed, then keep on creating experiences with live sound being produced either as a non amplified sound source or as a sound produced through amplification and speakers. When versions of the above are wanted to be heard as sound produced from the above. This is where the home audio system is a good substitute, but as a means to create a live experience, it is far far far away from the being their experience. Audio systems are without doubt great tricksters and are able to dupe many. Find your ideal sound illusion, the one that dupes you best. |
