Man, I would have loved to hear Duke's new speakers - his stuff never ceases to impress me. Alas, I couldn't make it to RMAF this year. I did get to hear Karl Schumann's (AudioMachina) new tiny CRM monitors in my own system, about a month before the show, and thought they were a real kick in the pants - just amazing to hear that kind of sound coming from such tiny enclosures. "Fun" definitely comes to mind - they made me want to listen to more music. There's quite a bit posted on RMAF impressions over on AudioCircle. Daedelus speakers also have been consistently enjoyable when I've heard them on several occasions extensively. In the case of speakers; those that are best for me, as the above mentioned, have me not thinking about the speakers at all, but completely immersed in the music.
Can fun be used to describe equipment?
Notice most people read certain books or watch certain movies. Try to tell a fiction fan to read medical textbooks and watch how fast he will walk away.
Face it- most people will gravitate to fun things over laborious things, I guess those speakers that are easiest to listen to without the brain having to have to fill in the missing pieces are probably the ones we most often listen to.
I was hoping to hear more from members about their experience at rmaf, but unfortunately there hasn't been much said.
Can anybody share what speakers they have had loads of fun with, either just listening or tweeking?
