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.
