Looking through a window on Music is, as I remember, how they used to advertise Quad ESLs. I quote from the instruction manual from the section about speaker positioning:Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote: I describe it as looking through a window, the cleaner it is the more you can see, and the more you can see the more you want to clean the window - in this case the window is looking into your music.
Your experiences and revelations in you system growth so far have shown you how things can progress, you can stop if you wish but that doesn't mean that is it! there is more to find and I am afraid it is a never ending journey, only you decide where to get off the train, but don't deny the train is capable of moving on somewhere else.
"The objective on a concert programme is that the loudspeaker should appear as an open window beyond which lies the Concert Hall" it goes on to say that with "modern studio practices" the perspective should be as from the front dress circle.
Why don't they write blurb like that nowadays? At least they were writing simply as though the objective were to recreate a musical experience. Now we get "There’s a sense of scale and authority that belies the speaker’s compact dimensions." to quote a random stock phrase from a review. To requote a phrase - a load of hyperbollocks.
Anyway, my other point is on this question about where to stop. Satisfaction is all about attaining a balance of compromise. I'm sure Andrew Carnegie has a suitable phrase for this (American Steel magnate, philanthropist and philosopher). I think he said something like "Income 10 shillings, expenses 10 and sixpence, result Human Misery. Income 10 shillings, expenses 9 and sixpence, result human happiness."
