Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Speakers as Venues

So true - and one of the keys to understanding "the truth" here in the Asylum: That all we experience in listening to performances (by the artists and recording engineers) is contrived, a figment of our imagination, driven by the desires and obsessions to optimize something that we believe is based in reality. We will argue about maintaining some sense of fidelity - after all it is "Hi-Fi" - a connection between that imagined event and our actual response to the pressure variations that meet our ears.

I was reminded of this when watching this video about old time radio sound effects. Enjoy.
