seti Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 The holidays are not complete without a trip to Best Buy. I was trying to shop for new music when from the car audio department comes the most offending sound I have ever heard. There was not a single range of sound that was not dostorted to hell and back highs mids lows all distortion all the time. I ventured over to the car audio dept and there were these two guys in there 30's purchasing about $1200 worth of distortion creating sound equipment for their car. I don't understand. I mean what is the point? Are they going to cut their fuel cost by propelling the car by bass? Then they went over to the home audio dept and somehow managed to elicit the same sound from some combo of jbl and subs. Everything they touched turned to distortion. Do they just not know what music should sound like? Is the only thing some people want is sheer bass? It sounded like they turned the treble all the way down bass all the way up with some sort of bass super booster. ug Or am I just a spoiled klipsch snob?

meuge Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 No, you just have ears that work as well as a head that functions. The difference is that you want to hear the music and perceive it, they are content with feeling their organs being moved around by the bass.

dodger Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 A lot of "Concerts" sound the same as that now. On a sick note, if I were young, I would invest heavily in Companies that make quality hearing aids. With the point that "Musicians Against Hearing Loss" make, you'd think some would learn. dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonecj Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 From working in a high school, I can tell you it's not about the music, it's about drowning out the guy next to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalOg Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 When I hear that thumping sound coming form a car system I always shake my head and wonder what the hell is the point. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 Perhaps we should build/markey a car audio system that only plays bass but plays it without distortion. The car of course would be shaken loose but wtf give them what they want and at least if it's not distorted it won't sound as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
