In this mad world of an audiophile, nothing makes sense.
Since it doesn't make sense, this isn't an issue that can be discussed
and aligned upon. (we will just end up fighting :-)

Got it easily enough on my Aego speakers connected to the computer (at
low volume) but, to be honest, that's a pretty poor clip for showing
the difference. If I had to pick something that would sound OK at low
bit rates, it would be something like that clip. It's only the little
bit of high freq

I would agree on the stock sound - very transparent and revealing but
the highs aren't 'tizzy,' just accurate and I have a very resolving
system. Tizzy sounds like the stock unit would have a problem or be
inaccurate.
Thanks for your post Ted. Good to hear your thoughts.

I see your point.
Some time ago I thought the FW15 angle was worth a shot as most
tweakers are never satisfied with status-quo.
As I remember there was a difference in the sound but I could not na

FW15 expresses a salty, spicefull approach with a fruity bloom finish.

Of course that well designed gear gets chucked in and out of vans, and
is generally abused. After a while it gains a few 'roadie repairs', and
then the funs starts.
I lost count of the amount of back line stuff I had to rewire after the
RCDs got tripped by rotten repairs. Good ones were:

The generally accepted rule of thumb for the hifi industry is a 1:10
ratio of cost of parts to bricks and morter retail.
Taking that, $15 of components would, on average equate to $150.

I suspect this is simply an answer to the question about whether the
$15 of components are worth more because of the investment in
marketing, distribution etc. It is a semantic distinction, I know, but
I would say they are not *worth* more, but *cos

What matters for a cabinet is that it has the designed volume to load
