In Reply to: CES has become a major embarrasment for this hobby posted by Sprezza Tura on January 14, 2013 at 11:03:04:
The below is a quote from an email from a noted audio review who writes for a major audio magazine.
"And that is that for electronics,
one does not reach a point at which
further improvement does not amount
to much, one reaches a point where further
improvement is non-existent.
With speakers, it is a little different.
If you want a big speaker to fill big
spaces and want one with lots of drivers
then a great deal of money can be spent
to good effect if that is the sort of
thing you are looking for
(For smaller speakers with the idea of
being nearfield monitors, this is not really true
however. There is a limit).
But it is important to understand that the
reality of this picture is not often admitted.
The industry lives in part on selling
high priced products to rich people. And
there is a kind of agreed upon view that
the high priced products are at least
a little better.
Agreed upon but not always in fact true.
All you have to do is compare the measurements
of the PSB T2 with those of the Wilson MAXX3
to get the point. No better as measured, the WIlson,
in fact a good bit worse. Just louder and costing
more. If you want to, you can believe there
is some unknown quasi-mystical wonderfulness
available at huge prices. But it is surely
not observable in the measurements."
When they discover the center of the universe, a lot of people will be disappointed to discover they are not it. ~ Bernard Bailey
