Acoustic Research Speaker
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.
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 Acoustic Research
speaker provides, and many of them have gone on to buy them
themselves. I say that they have good taste in
sound.
