| The single most appalling quality for me is lack of clarity in high-end speakers. It is the first thing I notice when listening to speakers. I have heard many expensive high-end speakers that lack this quality. The music seems to struggle to get out of the speakers to a greater or lesser extent. There is something that exist between the listener and music that prohibits a connection with the music. I have seen the quality remain after amplifiers had been swithched clearly indicating it was the speakers themselves. When clarity is there you do not need to have "audiophile" demo disc to connect with the music. I have only heard two systems in my life that held this quality to the extreme. In both cases the speakers were custom built. |
