Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

A quick response.

You are of course absolutely correct that rooms and placement can strongly affect the lower frequencies (high ones too). In my search for speakers I made it a point to hear any speakers that I thought were contenders in more than one place and if at all possible in my home. I also requested many times that the speakers be moved a bit so I could develop some sense of the sensitivity of placement in that room at least. I should have emphasized that I had had only this one hearing of your speakers.

Yes, I did hear them in what I thought was a very fine store in the SF East Bay. The people were highly professional and took great care to set up each pair of speakers I listened to. This store ranks among the better I have been in anywhere. I'm sorry that I didn't catch the change in model suffix, and I did hear its predecessor. I'm sure they are better and will listen to them when I get a chance. I did listen to the next JA model up that they had, but unfortunately they did not have your top model available for listening. I was quite interested in that model, but I'm sure I will have the cahnce to hear it someday.

I probably should have never made the post to begin with. Speakers are sort of like cars. They come in a variety of qualities and degrees of refinements, and everybody really has to do their own test driving. Though I've been on the quest for ever better sound for 45 years, it still largely a question of my preferences when it comes to gear, and I claim no general applicability for those preferences. I happen not to like Porsches at all, but I would never say they are not great cars, and what difference does it really make what I think about them?
