In Reply to: Will you swear you were not drunk or stoned when listening and did not get biased by positive reviews? posted by Richard BassNut Greene on April 7, 2007 at 21:41:23:
We did light up with a bit of single malt about 7 hours into the session. Just a wee dram or two. But I was certainly intoxicated with the sound.And I don't read reviews of audio gear. That's weird, I know - but how someone else subjectively reacts to a component isn't terribly interesting to me. Music reviews, on the other hand, tell me a great deal about the music.
>Of course with the wrong speaker wires the Orions would sound like Blose Acoustimess Shreikers three feet underwater<
I find it interesting that I never once considered that we should change wires or amps. What's even more interesting is that the owner didn't. He used generic wire on purpose as he wanted to get to know the speakers on their own without adding anything. He's going to hook up his Nordost SPM at some point and will likely try his tubed Acoustic Research amps (or some such) as well. It was just hard to imagine during the listening session that there were any real shortcomings to address.
