In Reply to: informal poll, Agree or Disagree: "Two channel audio has one sweet spot." posted by Duke on March 13, 2007 at 14:21:57:
NO.The sweet spot is great and all...like looking at the detail in a great painting... but how loudspeakers work with the room, how they sound from another room, down the street and sometimes even how they are perceived to sound while your sitting at your desk at work and missing them.. all that matters a lot.. at least to me.
and like a painting.. a loudspeakers proportions, aesthetic, "color" and.. it's "context" are all factors in my enjoyment of them... take vintage theater speakers.. alec, klangfilm etc.. what they are lends to the enjoyment of them..
perfect sound does in no way equal enjoyment..
best example i can think of.. listening to Vin Scully call a Dodger game from old radio...
anyhow.. my 2 cents.
I have among other things a pair of old Ohm walshes i got at the thrift shop for 50 dollars... and no matter how much money i plunk down on other speakers.. i still come back and enjoy these so much..
needless to say.. they are not a sweetspot speaker.. but they set a stage thats visible from wherever i am at in the house.listening to them right now in fact.. and Norman Blakes "The Fields of November"... and it seems perfect from a completely different room.
