In Reply to: the sound of mono returns? posted by digda_beat on July 11, 2014 at 18:02:38:
... The B&O product seems to be more about aesthetics, form & convenience than it is about sound. Though I suspect it sounds reasonable, for what it is.My wife's best sounding boombox is an Altec Lansing number, with a front pair of 3" drivers and a pair of small tweeters. The speakers are spaced less than 12" apart. On each 'end' of the box there are 5" woofers. It sounds very good for the pocket change it cost.
Being portable she takes it to the pool or the water or wherever outside she wants. Then at night she often listen to it in the kitchen. My point is, in the kitchen we have some Paradigm Studio 20 bookshelf speakers hooked up via Sonos. They sound way better than the boombox but half the time my wife listen to the boombox because it is quicker and easier to use and sound quality is not the forefront priority.
This B&O product I think falls into the category where value-for-money sound quality is not the main priority. A stereo presentation is of little benefit where the listener is constantly moving around. From what I can tell the B&O product seems to be marketed for use in an environment where the listener will not necessarily be sedentary.
Lastly, there is nothing wrong with mono!
Edit; syntax.
