Great sound at modest prices
What struck me at the show was how good stereo loudspeakers have
become across the board. . I didn't hear any really bad speakers at
the show, just bad recordings. It amazed me how many demonstrators
were playing non audiophile recordings to show off their wares.
Most interesting and encouraging was how some of the lower
priced speakers fared in comparison to the mega buck offerings.
As long as you're not trying to fill up a huge room, you have
an excellent chance of buying superb sound for a relatively
modest price. You don't have to spend multi thousands to get
high quality sound. The PSB Synchrony Ones were impressive
and held their own against much higher priced competition.
On the flip side, I thought many of the really high priced
speakers were a ripoff. Yes, you get marginally better sound
but how can they justify those prices?
Also, i prefer to buy equipment from America or Canada.
With the dollar weak against the euro, it just makes more sense.
