Well, this whole thread just gave me a headache. Goes to show my simple mindedness. Just cracked a Caffrey's Irish Ale to relax........ smooth and mellow.
When I was in high school, I worked at an audio store. Bar none, the worst sounding speakers in the store were the Bose 901's. $2k cdn and they sounded like someone threw a sleeping bag over them. Gave a whole new meaning to the term "laid back". I wonder if the engineers set out to design a speaker that sounded like it was in a closet? Some customers loved them, others hated them. It really showed how different each person's perceptions and preferences really are.
One of my favorite combinations at the time was a set of Boston T1100 towers, driven with a Cyruss amp. (with the outboard power supply hooked up of course) They were so open and revealing. But I was 16, and what the hell did I know anyway? Same kind of goes for now at 34.
Time for another Caffrey's.......
