Just Stop! - Posting Audio Clips on YouTube

These are not my ProAc Studio 3s in a beautiful system. I do own the model and I do like watching this video. I do not believe that you can make any SQ evaluations via YT. 
 

maybe it’s catnip

Instead of talking about this as if it is some sort of out of this world experience where the audio recordings on YouTube are unrecognizable from the sound in the room, I will use myself, one of my systems, and one of my audio recordings from this past weekend’s listening session:

Palermo Etterno

Who here could challenge me that the sound on the above audio recording is not representative of the sound in the room, when I was there and I was the one who recorded it???????

Of course you can't make any evaluation based on that video because you have no idea of what is being recorded or how.  Note that the video moves around, but the audio doesn't change.  This means that the audio was done separately from what you see.

I enjoy them, I think they are fun.  I’m under no illusions that they represent anything close to the actual sound if I were in the room.  Many are done well enough to tell subtle differences in speakers and gear if using headphones.  I often find myself feeling let down if a review doesn’t have a sound clip of the speaker under test.
