I know the Sierra 2's should sound better. The more I read about acoustics, the more I realize I have no clue, despite having a science background and researching the topic with feverish interest since I was 15. You know the old quote, 'The more you know, the more you know you don't know'? Pure marketing BS.Īlmost all people claiming to 'know a thing or two' about acoustics aren't technically lying because they don't know that they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. This is why many prefer DTS HD Master audio to Dolby TrueHD - they are both perfect recordings, but DTS is usually mastered louder. To humans, louder sounds 'better', even with inferior equipment.Humans (that's me) have poor auditory memory, so can't easily remember the details of a song played on speaker B when comparing against speaker A.It is hard to write a truly honest one - confirmation bias will convince even the most rigorous fact seeker that the speaker which is supposed to sound better is better, even when it isn't true. First, context:Īudio equipment reviews suck.
I just tested my new Sierra 2 speakers and would like to review them.
