What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers?
Those of you who have somehow correlated the concept of negative space to female gender are completely misconstruing my first post, in which I briefly mentioned negative and positive space as the terms are used in art and design. Anyone who has a basic education in art is familiar with negative and positive space. Here's more info about negative space. |
I know at least 2 women who subscribe to Tvad's hypothesis. I have always preferred big floorstanders mostly because I'm a freak for deep bass. I own some stand mounts (Totem Mani-2) however and the portability of them is very appealing. Even though the footprint of the Mani's equals other big and bulky speakers I have, when it comes time to rearange things, I really appreciate the stand mounts . . . especially when it involves carrying them to another room, and up the stairs. |
My belief is it all comes down to a MONEY issue with woman. They most likely think or rationalize that a bookshelf speaker cost less far less then a big floor standing behemoth. And with that thinking that leaves more money for hair,nails,clothing,shoes,facials,dinner out,spa,vacation time and the kiddies..that's the way see it. |
It seems to me that Tvad's answer is so self-evident as to be almost beyond dispute. A person who prefers not to decorate a room with audio equipment, whether male or female, prefers that audio equipment is as invisible as possible. Hence the popularity of Bose with these folks. When forced to choose between floorstanders and stand-mounted monitors, which take up roughly the same PHYSICAL space, such a person will undoubtably choose the speakers that take up the least VISUAL space, and that is stand-mounted monitors. You do not need even a basic art education to understand this. You only need to have one working eye. Your reaction to Tvad's answer, Larry, is bizarre. |
