Huge Flatscreen Televisions are good but apparently for some reason Large stereos and speakers hooked up to full sized componets are bad!?
Especially if the stereo is black, or looks like what it is... A Sound system. I don't get all the ruckus with the need to hide a sound system, or wireless speakers, or even the shame people have of owning something large or GASP! ten years old! Or doesnt have an ipod dock stuck in it!
To be honest the small sattelite/ artsy fartsy Mr roboto boom boxes look much worse (and sound) much worse than a full sized component system...
Two bookshelf speakers and a center speaker under the TV, dont notice em too much, Two floorstanders one center. Dont notice em much.
Tiny sattelites or robot shaped mini hifi tucked in the corner. My brain screams, HMMM Boombox! or, HOME THEATER System! and I think to myself PLEASE! dont play any music!
The smallest I would be willing to go are the Onkyo, Denon, and the sony G-series micro hifi, which looks as if someone at Sony saw A Rotel or Music hall set of seperates and copied the design and the speakers remind me of B&Ws
Those tiny little cute/sattilite speakers + subwoofer combo things NEVER sound as good as a of decent set of bookshelf speakers paired with a nice sub. Cringe worthy highs, muddy mid and nothing smooth below 120hz..
Even more expensive satelite subwoofer combo sets don't do well in the mids the sub-woofer is always too darn boomy and overpowers the speakers.
Has the time come when we feel the need to phase out Full sized stereo and HT components? the space gained from fetting rid of a pair of big box speakers and a standard sized stereo rack is negligible IMO.
The less physical media we have the less Hifi components we have in are system and that's a bad thing. the more we converge things into one box that does it all the worse off the audio industry and Hifi is.
