In Reply to: Here's my advice. posted by orpheus on August 5, 2002 at 08:11:26:
Actually, I have heard several high end systems. I have visited a local audio store and they had a pair of 10K B&W speakers on display. I listened to them and was less than impressed. The subwoofer hooked up with them was terrible. They used extremely expensive cables in this installation, but the amplifier looked to be a Adcom or Rotel, I cannot remember, it was almost a year ago.Another experience, I have visited Ultimate Electronics. They had ML electrostat speakers along with Krell electronics driving the whole system. I WAS impressed by this system.
Finally I have heard Wayne Parham's (Owner of Pispeakers) system. It sounded very good as well, but he does not use "audiophile" components - just a crown amplifier and cheap 16awg speaker wire.
As for the system I listen to, it is not a boombox. I have attached a picture.
As for your analysis on speaker cables, I am going to flat out disagree with you. As long as they are of sufficient diameter, you are not going to hear a difference. Listen to what you said, "With cheap speaker cables, it's more difficult to hear the difference between amps b/c less of the source is getting through the cable and it's being colored and distorted more than with a better, more expensive, cable." Do you really believe that the loss of a 14awg cable vs the losses in the voice coil or inductor inside your speakers is going to matter? What about plain copper wire colors the sound? Same with distortion, how can a cable add distortion to the signal? I can believe a phase shift, but distortion?
