In Reply to: Why does the Magnolia Room at Best Buy sound so bad? posted by LA mitchell on November 9, 2014 at 08:41:57:
Maybe it is.
Maybe it's not a good marriage of amp and speakers.
Maybe it's not a good marriage of phono cart and preamp.
Maybe not a good marriage of speakers and room.
Maybe they're just shrill speakers.
Maybe it's a shrill phono cartridge.
Maybe it's not a good recording.
Maybe a combination of things.
Lots of variables.
I was in a Best Buy the other day, looking at computers, and they had a Magnolia "room". Unimpressive. It was dark-ish and the speakers were too bassy. Not at all conducive to making sales.
