i think today more than ever the positioning of the speakers must be the best possible if limited to space in our homes,
some litle speakers do sound bad if not correctelly positioned but i also noticed by looking to several, supposed to be good speakers , the Elac´s that were many times talked about recenttelly ,in the last two years,
knowing the brand i thought they had to be good but heard some with great specifications but a litle size speakers those if not with correct installed loose a lot of it´s quality ,
but the ones that surprised me the most are the vella 2.0 , a bit over priced, so to speak. but great in sound, also the specifications of some more afordable speakers they seem not that good,
comparing them with older 80´s speakers, i refer more to the sensivety being less than 90db´s as i was used to big boxy speakers that were all above 100db´s sensitivety,
in late 80´s bought some tannoy sixies that when conecting them to a new amplifier the A-616mk II from pioneer (first i installed them on a 77 top amplifier from HH Scott professional they said but maybe because they had handles to put in a rack that was fashion at the time),
at start i wasn´t that happy with them but with time i noticed the quality refered by many critics, now i still love the way they sound, this some 605 with stands as they have a diferent shape ,one needs to buy the stands from the brand to make`em look good and sound even better.
Now all speakers are are installed with stands ,even new boxy speakers that were a fashion some years ago, well maybe they don´t sound that good and a variety of stands are being used to put any speakers on them, only i never thought of using them , only in speakers that the maker says they need to be at your listening position level.
About records , they used to sound even better if with a new and high quality amplifier with also very good speakers ,
it seems that the cds at direct sound sounded a lot under the turntable quality and i was using a 74 pioneer turntable with the PC-30 cartridge and PN-50 stylus, and my cd player in use at the time was considered one of the best ,i´m refering to a PD-9000 i had just bought,
i´m not saying it was bad but the turntable with original cartridge from 74 with still sold stylus like they were ´till the 2000 year that i know of, sounded so good,
having also a good cassette deck, when i recorded songs from the cd the cassette sounded better than the cd sound, was a CT-91a also Pioneer, i remenber listening to the siouxie and the banshes doble lp live "Nocturne" it never had sounded so good, really perfect levels and mixing also the detail of every instrument being played , this when Robert Smith was the guitar player
