Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Tell us about experiencing a "speaker nightmare" (really bad sound) at someone else's home

Observed while helping my daughter and son-in-law with house-hunting:

(i) The guy who had one Martin-Logan unit in one room and one in an adjoining room. The rooms were connected by French doors. He assured me he listened from one room or the other with the doors almost invariably open. The rest of his equipment was equally expensive as I recall.

(ii) The guy who had one expensive Pro-Ac floorstander on a stand in the middle of his lounge and the other sitting on the floor behind a large, soft sofa. He said the bass sounded better that way. I can't recall what rubbish he was using as an amp, but he was feeding it with a $99 DVD player.

I tend to nod sagely at such atrocities and to move on to the task at hand.
