I agree, we are lucky to have a choice in speakers. However, many make the wrong choice. Many are swayed by ads, hype or demo's in hi-fi shops. Listening with your ears is not always the ultimate answer either as many hi-fi shops purposely wire the competition out of phase or adjust the volume so that the competitor plays softer. The human ear will ALWAYS chose the louder speaker as the "best" What you need to do, is to listen to the speaker in YOUR room, on YOUR system. Even then you need to be keenly aware of components that are not up to par. Keep in mind putting a better speaker on a system with a crappy pre-amp will only serve to more clearly reveal that pre-amps faults. And so it goes with the amp, turntable, tone arm, phono cartridge, cd player etc. You won't see that as the case though. After all, you only changed the SPEAKERS. Right? So.......it has to be the new speakers that suck. Maybe........maybe NOT. If building a great audio system were easy, you wouldn't need great salespeople, and great manufacturers, like Roy Johnson at Green Mountain to help guide you thru(and hopefully avoid) costly mistakes.
