Speakers. Everything is best.

I have said before that over the years I have tried almost every type of speaker.

Big Boxes.

Little boxes.

Heavy boxes

Light boxes.

Acoustic Suspension (not ported).

Bass Reflex (ported).

Planar no boxes (full range dipole electrostatics)

Single driver speakers.

Array driver speakers.

Up down, left right, rear firing......

I know of what I speak as I have done it and lived with it. All those I built with my own hands. All sounded OOOh Kaaay, but always something off.

I have bought only a few factory speakers some to repair, some to just save time. Four sets actually with two of those in my surround system. I always go back to trying it myself.

I know golden ears will try any type and will find something to like or love. Yet designs for speakers are loaded with contradictions. Some factors one designer will deem critical will be cheerfully ignored by an equally successful design.

These are some speakers on today's local Craigslist in Vancouver.

A space age droid thing all curves to avoid diffraction effects I guess. Too small for bass and phase alignment is a distant dream. Kinda fugly.

Simple small boxes with square edges. Too small for Bass but at least the drivers face the same way.

This looks like one of those "what was he smoking" designs. But I see a real reach for minimal diffraction and wide dispersion and probably decent bass with enough power. Very low wife acceptance factor and room placement critical. I just call them ugly.

A classic set of Klipsch Heresies they knew everything in 1958 dint they?

Here are some big boys. Big array of woofers and planar tweeters. Low rent Infinity IRS copy. Probably OK sound, but hard to make work in a room, which is why the guy is selling them. His electronics are really good.

A classic pair of Magnapans. I do have a soft spot for these, but dipoles have more problems than solutions. I can tell from how they are sitting they are not set up even close to right.

Bose 901s truly awful in a real room, though this set has the equalizer that in most cases has been lost. Also this is the back side of the speaker, but the guy probably doesn't know that.

And finally a pair of ADVENTS. Not bad in all respects. Basically solidly competent. But not wonderful.

Each one of the above was an attempt to build a good speaker. The designer seized upon an idea and ran with it. Boxes, no boxes, round, square yadda yadda. They all came up with different solutions dint they? I know the one factor not considered was the room they went in. That almost never is. In truth speaker set up is all about moderating the room effects. There are reflections from all the surfaces and depending on the wall materials and furniture the room has a sound.

You can tell from the sound if you are in one room or another or outside cant you? Those big boys need a BIG room, lots of power, and lots of "sound treatment" to tame the nonlinearities. To varying degrees these all need it. If you don't have that they will not sound their best or even very good. All that matters. And it worries me when casting about for ideas.

Another thing is that when "properly" set up all these here have to be placed away from walls and close to the "listening" chair. The trick is to hear the near field so your brain filters out the first second and third reflections from the room. Your brain is part of the system remember.

Or if you just want to party slam them against the wall and make room for dancing.

So of course everything is not best. The golden ears like what they like, and what they have come to expect. So is there best?

If I won the lottery I would own none of these or their brethren.

An Asymptote is a mathematical curve that approaches but never reaches a limit value. That is like high end audio is it not? Some things work better others less so, if lucky you get just a bit closer to the illusion of music. (Or steam trains passing if that is your thing)

📻 Animal Crossing Radios (functional) 📻

Sims 4, Base game compatible. 6 items I added an extra black swatch to the skull radios because the original one (included) looks not so great 🌺

Always suggested: bb.objects ON, it makes placing items much easier. For further placement tweaking, check out the TOOL mod.

Type “animal crossing radio” and “animal crossing macrame” into the search query in build mode to find quickly. You can always find items like this, just begin typing the title and it will appear.
