Someday I dream of getting a good speaker system. To that end I have been browsing online reviews and articles encompassing a staggering array of speakers and home theater systems. Except for a few like Polk and Bose, the names are unfamiliar so I find myself quickly wading through reviews and sometimes rejecting because the name doesn't "sound" right (get it?).
My first criteria is cost so it is usually necessary to scan several pages of review to get the bottom line. Speaker systems can typically range from only a couple hundred up to $15,000 to $20,000. As I was scanning a review I encountered this paragraph by the reviewer: "In simple language that even I can understand: The crossover-processor corrects, in the digital domain, the time delay inherent in the horizontal stacking of the point-source array, while using four linear-phase digital filters combined with the appropriate time-aligning delay filters to carefully limit the response of each transducer's operating range." Ahhhh, okayyy, seems pretty clear to me!
Further in the review I discovered the complete system cost around $250,000. I don't like the sound of that system.
