RE: In a Hong Kong Apartment no less

It has always amazed me how folk in the Far East listen to Westminster Royals nearfield in Tokyo apartments !. Till one day a friend demoed the same idea with a set of vintage 15" Tannoy DC's and the penny dropped, listening very quietly with no cabinet coloration was a game changer, spoken word with coherence and articulation became the new goal. I now say to people when they go shopping for new spkrs listen nearfield at whisper levels if what comes off the domes doesn't sound right at earshot it never will, so move on.

Cheers Johno
