It's funny to see line radiators making such a comeback in "technology".
The quality of smaller transducers has really jumped in the 30 years since I've been doing sound.
Lighter, stiffer cone materials has really enabled manufacturers to get remarkable results...... Using the same fundamental theories that enables BOSE to do the job as well.
Layman's terms? I'm curious. Bose do job well? lol this thread is about to blow up.
only think bose does well is market to idiots
LOL, you can think what you want, but at some point they ALL will do the job. The degree to which is a personal opinion, in much the way some like mayonaisse and some like mustard. The rest is simply ego gratification.
The ear, like the eye, can be fooled by extraeneous , unrelated factors. Shiny finishings, fancy wood laminates are the "bait" on the hook.
Don't get me wrong,
I'm not saying these speakers are AS good as a BOSE system, just that someone else might think their BOSE don't sound as bad as some would have you believe.
The overlying factor is quality of components and quality of manufacture that determine the retail price point VS Perceived Value by the end user. No matter what any technical paper says, or what some "audiophile"'s preferences are, 90 times out of 100, it's factors completely unrelated to the sound that determine how good it "works" in a given situation.
Like for example, if the wife thinks they're ugly or the "black Box" factor.
i hope you get flamed into oblivion
Well, that isn't possible, because may I remind you, flaming is only just stuff on the internet posted by idiots in their underwear, popping pimples while they jack off to pr0n , because they either can not or will not think in a critical fashion.
What I am saying is that EVERY SPEAKER SYSTEM is as good as another, depending on it's end use, the environment it's in and the electronics driving it.
I can make a front end signal path that will make those Def. Techs sound like crap, just as quickly as I can make the BOSE sound like Angels singing. The reverse is also true. What people forget is that a slaesmans job is to get you to disregard your own perceptions and buy into what it is he's laying down, so that he can pick up your money at the end of his spiel. The other point i'm trying to make is that perception is colored by aspects outside the "control" of anyone. It's like trying to describe flavors to someone who has no taste buds.
Lots of people are easily distracted by bright shiny objects, yet think they are grounded in "reality". Reality is what you believe to be true. But it bears no influence on another persons perception of "reality"
Think for a moment of how a person hears and the various effects that daily living can have, as well as genetic differences (Men hear high frequencies less than women and thus tend to overcompensate to the irritation of women everywhere) Has to do with the shape of the pinnae of the ear and propagation of the species from ancient history, environmental factors, (Men have a low frequency dip in response , typically in the left ear, from driving with the windows rolled down far more than women).
So, while I have a more broad and open point of view about this subject, anyone who says , in blanket fashion, "Brand A is Crap and Brand Z is God - Like", is working from a narrow set of parameters, and has not approached the comparison in a scientific and balanced manner.
But of course, your perception, and mileage, may vary. But your POV is not the be all of existance. Neither is mine, but then I'm not trying to sell anyone anything, other than a reasoned reply to my point of view.
