In Reply to: Tell us about experiencing a "speaker nightmare" (really bad sound) at someone else's home posted by Richard BassNut Greene on March 3, 2007 at 09:09:18:
Although I've heard some really sad audio and even sadder choices in music, I used to work P/T at Rat Shack around 10 years ago. This isn't so much about the gear as about one of my co-workers; a "kid" about 23. You know the type; dressed gaudy-cool, had a 1/2 Farad cap in his all woofer car stereo, and thought he knew everything.Everytime I came into work he'd have the loudness circuit engaged and the tone controls maxed on the receiver (over)driving the then new Pro-LX5 Linaeums. I would immediately walk over and set things flat. He would say that it, "sounds better" the other way, I would say, "no it doesn't, now it sounds the way it should". Finally one day in response to his disdain I said, "if the artist wanted it to sound that way, don't you think he would have RECORDED it that way"? The really sad thing was that he replaced an older British guy that moved back to the UK ... and took his Quad system with him! He knew his audio.
Oh yeah, there was the friend, 30 odd years ago, that mounted his speakers between the ceiling joists of his living room and used his 10-band stereo EQ as an amp amplifier! Shudder, it was aweful!
