The Brooks Berdan big demo room is excellent acoustically. I had a tremendous demo of the Magic A3 in that room. The guys working there were also rather nice to deal with.
Is there a Northern and Southern California Sound
Hi everyone,
I've been slowly making the rounds of LA stereo shops. Before this I was in the San Francisco bay area.
Ages ago, speakers were divided into two camps: East Coast and West Coast sound.
East coast was Audio Research, Boston Acoustics, KLH, etc. West coast was Altec, JBL.
After listening and thinking about it I am wondering if there is a preference for sound quality in northern Caslifornia vs. Southern california?
I got to hear systems in the north at Magico, Music Lovers and Audio Visions. Here in the South I've heard a couple of places, and I found the sound harder and brighter.
Of course, this is a small sample, and all electronics were different, but I'm wondering, has anyone else heard the same?
