In Reply to: A Funny Thing Happened When I Sold My Audiophile Speakers posted by zog on October 11, 2005 at 14:35:25:
For fun, I swapped a pair of Thiel speakers with my cheapo best buy Klipsh's and was quite horrified with the results. The cheap speakers made my poor recordings listenenable and in many ways they were more enjoyable then the Thiels. I was very surprised.The Klipsh speakers did not sound GREAT, but they sounded good with just about everything. The Thiels sounded GREAT with the right recordings, but terrible with poor recordings.
This was a very hard pill to swallow as an audiophile. You really can't have your cake and eat it too.
