isn't the biggest problem with speakers, the room they are placed in ?

[hyperconnected08]

@slingo68 it is one of the bigger issues, but if you start off with a bad speaker and fix the room it is possible that you can only get so far. Within the freq range rooms tend to create issues below say 300hz, above that the speaker has more to do with bad sound, so one needs to address both

Yes, Bose is a marketing company. They have a real nice midrange that appeal to your ears but everything else is lacking. No highs, no lows? Must be Bose!!!

@Maxzoe20 Yes, thing is that listeners should see what they hear - not opposite. They should be moved not by what they hear but why they do not see.

@johammbass Not at all. If you would experience as much audio experiments as me you woudn't say that. The truth is that instrument can evaluate the sound parameters but can't judge it in athe way human ear and brain does. Usually instruments give us visual answer which is usless in much complicated home environment. That's my experience. Is anybody who valuate the visual frequency charactristic as final judge?

@slingo68 rooms are a problem, but superior speakers have a uniform radiation of sound in all directions so that reflections mimic the listening window response, leading to low room-treatment-sensitivitiy. Below 400hz or so where the room modes begin to occur is a bit different. Presumably cardioid speakers would be less sensitive to room problems than omni

So they win the war of the living room and deliver better sound than a poor performance taget. Then the long term play is to market to those customers over and over again.

For the industry there really is a circle of confusion happening. The engineer uses speakers to evaluate recorded sound - the consumer uses a speaker to listen. Problem is they are not always using the same technologies or adhere to the same standards. Thus the expereince is diminished from what the artist intended

@transdrole Well one might think the sound you get from their products is bad but let's face facts, there is a bit of science too. A boatload of DSP properly applied can make a poor speaker sound good and great speaker sound out of this world good. But they do a good job of identifying market opportunities. when the Jewel Cube came out the avg consumer still used speaker from rack systems, they were not very good at all, and that was the target...big, not so good sounding speakers.
