Klipschguy Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Have any of you ever noticed how good your speakers sound if you listen to the music instead of the speakers? I started consciously doing this a few years back (after YEARS of doing the former) and it has revolutionized my appreciation for my system and music in general.

Klipsched with Yamahas Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Especially when I attempt to find the proper staging (center/left/left center/right/right center/depth/height, etc).[] Not including the dynamics or tonality. By George, I think you've stumbled onto something here[:|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 29, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2008 Yep, that's the way I listen, to the point that when someone says to listen for certain things I have a very hard time hearing them. I think I am probably better off in the long run not having trained ears and just enjoying the music. You can still defiantly hear a better sounding setup that way, and it's more fun.

oldbuckster Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I always find listening with the lights out, so you don't see the speakers, you get into the sounds, instead of looking at speakers, after all, you hear with your ears not your eyes ......... Ever Notice ; Other peoples equipment sounds better than your's, or so you think, even when you know you own better equipment ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally concur on that thought OB, and I prefer to listen when in darkened environment. Tubes are my only solution to part II of your statement. Thought I had hi-fi, only to discover my system is mid-fi after listening to several other systems. It is hard now knowing what you are missing, and cannot afford to upgrade to that level.

AndyKubicki Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Yer supposed to listen to the music! [] I used to do the same thing as a teenager- lights out and just immerse myself into the music. It does help to deprive a set of senses to focus on another set. Think of it. We've heard stories about Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder hearing things the recoring engineers didn't catch. Yeah, lights out is the way for me! Besides, you can see the tubes glowing better [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'nough said That was not a demeaning comment ...My point was Cornwalls in a trailer must be LOUD because of the room size .... Brings back a memory of an ad I once saw back in the 70's ............. it went like this ; "Klipsch Speakers and a ten watt amp will get you evicted from your trailer park" ... that makes me chuckle ...... I hope you didn't take it wrong !!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
