EricB, your right to an extent. We do like true sound, and we hate sound with overly exagerated bass and harsh treble, unless of course, you have your own car, and feel the need to kit it out with 15" Kenwood 10,000W Subwoofers. Which unfortunately many people do. Im all up for upgradeing my car sound system (when i get one) but it sure as god wont be kenwood... It'll be...hmm. DynAudio, Klipsch , Bose, the kind of make sthat produce reasonable sound without haveing to spend more than the car itself.
Anyway thats off the point, we like hyped up sound, but to a degree that sounds good and is not exagerated. I.E. no bass boost with the subwoofer at 100 percent even when your watching a chat show on tv
.
Pure real sound should always sound great, because the song or music wouldnt of been released from the studio if it sounded terrible in a pure form, would it now...
BTW, i thouhgt id never say this, but you know them flimsy thin tower speakers with 3, 2.5" drivers in, and the control panel coated in glass... for the fashion consious kind, well i herd some samsung ones today and, well, they sounded great (somehow) not harsh, not boomy, went loud without distorting (and they were very loud in a huge consumer electronics store, REALLY big, so imagine the loudness in your lounge. Boyyy they wern't cheep, but for the kind of speakers they were, they were good.
