Today he brought over a brand new pair of Pioneer (Andrew Jones designed) SP-BS22-LR fresh out of the box. All sound very good, but I definitely get fatigued easily with some.
I’m not saying I can’t tell the difference, I certainly can, but speakers that sound like crap at his place, sound well above their class at my house.
It has to be room accoustics, no?  |
Its probably room acoustics, given that everything else is "equal", i.e., comparable quality of source reproduction and amplification.
