A Quick And Personal Review
Of The Acoustic Research Speaker
My Experience With Acoustic Research
Speakers
I have been an audiophile for a long
time, but surprisingly, I never had really good sound that I
could count on until I got my first Acoustic Research
wireless speaker.
Before the Acoustic Research speaker,
I was using inferior equipment. Although I did not go
straight from my first, big, clunky second hand bass
speakers with broken cones to the Acoustic Research speaker,
the difference was almost as pronounced.
Nonetheless, the Acoustic Research
speaker was just the last step in a string of slowly
improving audio equipment that I had been acquiring since I
was very young.
It started when I was a teenager
growing up in the 70s. This was a long time before there was
such a thing as Acoustic Research speakers, or many of the
other bands that are popular today.
What I had was a pair of second hand
speakers which I had inherited from a friend, when he bought
his new stereo. He seemed to not think that they were good
enough for his use anymore, but for me they were amazing.
They had all of the bass that a
teenager wants, and a mellow tubey sound that I still find
tasteful. Unfortunately, they had many weaknesses including
a torn speaker cone that buzzed, and very low treble
fidelity.
But still, I did really like them, and
they did a good job for me all the way through
college.
Acoustic Research Speakers Came After
Other Audio Equipment
Before I ever saw an Acoustic Research
speaker, I tried many other brands. I thought Bose were
pretty good, and for a long time they were my favorite. Even
now, when I am listening to music quietly to avoid
disturbing my girlfriend, I turn off the Acoustic Research
speaker and plug in my Bose headphones.
But still, nowadays my whole house is
wired with Acoustic Research speakers which pipe music to
any corner that I want, any time.
You can even use an Acoustic Research
speaker to hear sound outside, as I have done. I have a
wireless Acoustic Research speaker which plays music to the
patio whenever I am entertaining. It saves me the trouble of
having to bring out a boom box, and the sound quality is
simply sensational.
All of my guests have complemented the
good fidelity that an Accoustic Research speaker provides,
and many of them have gone on to buy them themselves. I say
that they have good taste in sound. So, check 'em out the
next time you're in the market for audio equipment.
