Dear Music Lover,
If you're like a growing number of audiophiles, you're a bit frustrated. Too often you have to 'crank up' your system for it to come alive, but then, it begins to sound harsh and unpleasant. Do you know why? What they won't tell you Nearly all 'high-end' speakers have serious problems that interfere with the music's message. If by chance, you haven't discovered this for yourself, you're about to hear the unvarnished truth... Deaf or dumb? Speakers that need 30-50 watts just to come alive are simply deaf to the subtler emotional cues in the music. It's these subtleties that make the difference between connecting with the music and simply listening to it. And it's why many don't listen to their music as much as you'd expect. What a shame. TECHNIcal COLORations Nearly all speakers sound different depending on the volume setting. This unwanted and unnatural coloration is due to their drivers (woofers, tweeters, etc.) exceeding their most linear operating region. This alters the performance of the drivers. Unfortunately, this is largely unrelated to price or marketing claims! Drivers become limited in their movement, and whichever driver does this first will change the sound. If the bass driver starts to compress, then the tonal balance shifts to a bright and unpleasant sound. This phenomenon is so common that it has a name. It's called displacement compression. There's a related coloration, equally as damaging, called thermal compression, but hey, I don't have room to expose every sin! Utter CHAOS No one mentions CHAOS. CHAOS is my term for what happens to drivers that are asked to move a significant distance. Unfortunately, they never stop moving in time to reveal the musical subtleties that follow. When there's no signal at the end of a note, what's left is unwanted vibrations, or CHAOS. Not only most cone speakers, but also stretched diaphragm speakers exhibit this problem. When CHAOS is eliminated, the sound is shockinglymore pure and compelling. Voodoo Economics Ever hear this one? "My (expensive) speakers are so revealing that only a few of my recordings are listenable!" Speakers that are "too revealing" (audiophile code for cold and harsh) suffer from most if not all of the above design flaws. Ever listen to a system and find that you're relieved when it's turned off? Why would anyone want to pay more to enjoy their music less?
