Its like all Audio dudes are brainwashed into the very same way of thinking..

If i have to explain i will.

Say you are speaking to someone face to face. Record the conversation on the best machine possible & play it back thru a bright sounding system , the tone of the voices will sound different to the original voices, This is what i mean about unnnatural.

Same when i play music thru a Bright system, the brightness some call clarity just does not sound right to me.

I wonder what Marco's take on it is. Afterall he dont use Vintage Tannoys in preference to modern speakers for no reason.Nor his collection of Dittons

I could fill the sofa space quite easily as I have two other pairs in the garage, maybe not pure hifi as such, and a pair JBLs. So I have enough for a surround sound system with the Yamaha sub.

My friend is not the sort to be bothered with selling hifi bits unless it was worth his while. So I suppose as the SDOBS (super duper oak bespoke speaker platform) for the bees knees in speaker isolation and SQ enhancement £600 a pair sounds a good starting price.

Let me have your required sizes and will advise delivery time.

What's your friend's name, Gary Goldmund? Spare paving flags under my carport are starting to look attractive, just need a power wash

Tosh, I know when something sounds right, having played in bands and been in recording studios. No reproduced recorded music is going to sound perfect or how it sounded originally because you are not listening through the same equipment, plus loads of crap is introduced through the recording and mixing process. However when somrpne listens to a recording through a system at home there is as point when it will sounds right to an individual or maybe meets their level of expectation, that is all that matters

Who’s Gary Goldman’s, sorry excuse my ignorance. Why not pop down to the local Diy store and pick up an off cut off oak work top, if they are open still

No doubt Marco uses vintage Tannoys and Dittons because he likes the way they sound, simple as that. We may like to think that we are striving for a "natural sound" or fidelity, but fidelity to what? At the end of the day it comes down to personal preferences. If we all liked the same thing nearly all the speaker manufacturers would not exist.

And I believe Marco's "vintage" Dittons have had some modern bits thrown at them

My apologies Adrian, Gary Goldmund does not exist. I was making a silly reference to Goldmund, who appear to be taking something ordinary and charging big money.

Perhaps somewhere that makes kitchens may be the place to try

Yes but there is a big difference between brightness and clarity.

Brightness in my mind is a raise in treble response, however caused.
Clarity is lack of distortion so not masking any details.

I don't have any brightness in my mind
