I want to hear them playing in my room for my entertainment using their equipment played at their volume levels:
So drag in that Hammond C3/Leslie, those Marshall stacks, a full drum kit and let it rip!
Just Stop! - Posting Audio Clips on YouTube
Does anyone else believe it is a very poor use of bandwidth for someone to try and show the quality of the sound produced by their $100k system on YouTube? Playing an expensive speaker or component on video that then feeds into a microphone and is combined with the video and then posted to YouTube then plays through my tv speakers, soundbar, etc... Eve stranger is when they use this delivery method to A/B components.

I agree to your opinion that BW sounds warmer and clearer. I wish a same music is used for 2 recordings. The music used on 1528 sounds bright and thin which could make 1528’s sound bad. Find Another Reason (original music). Then I found another 1528 recording which sounds bright and lifeless (metallic + tinny). Arendal 1528 bookshelf demo1 I think 1528 is actually bad sounding.

@mihorn That one is one of the better recording of the 1528, Some sounded much worse but with the same negative traits heard. Since we're talking about Youtube Demo, the 1528 is a great speaker to bring up. Reviewers and measurement enthusiasts GUSH greatly at the 1528 but it sounds problematic through Youtube demos. It was only until watching Andrew Robinson review today that I really get a sense of what the 1528 was all about. According to him, the 1528 sounds meh at 75 db and below. It performs best at 90+ db. Another thing to note, especially for the tower is, it requires the speakers to be 12 ft away from the listener, at least for the floorstanding model. I believe the problems that we heard from the 1528s demos are more or less accurate. According to Robinson, these speakers are meant to be played at 90db+ volume and the parts look the role too. |
