Sonos is convenient and most people don't want to spend any time connecting components. The small tradeoff in convenience at the 500 dollar point for powered monitors or a small receiver and good bookshelves is well worth it, if audio quality is your primary focus. There's no need to sell organs or refinance your house to get good sound. I've heard Wilson speakers and they are fantastic, but diminishing returns kick in well below their price point too.

The thing about high-end audio systems is the difference in sound separation, staging and clarity between a $500 and a $2,000 system is far greater then the difference between a $2,000 system and a $50,000 system. The difference is even more subtle as you go up in price. Many would not be able to tell the difference between a $50,000 system and the $350,000 system demonstrated in this video. Bottom line is if you CAN tell the difference and care, and have the resources, then a six-figure audio system is worth it.

"Should we charge $93,000? " Nah, round it up to $100,000..." "We don't make speakers for poor people. If you want high fidelity, you have to pay for it." - they've done this since the 80's.

I used to think that this was all marketing BS, but I once visited Chicago to check out the real hi-end, and I got to hear an $87K (in 2009) Vienna Acoustics pair (with some $12K transistor amp), and indeed, I heard for myself that the one thing that these ultra-expensive speakers do well is dynamics. Of course, it is really only symphonic music in which such dynamics is subtle but noticeable, and it requires that the listener must have a frame of reference of a live performance and a recording played through a more reasonable system that costs maybe $5K. That said, whether it is worth $99K to hear that subtle difference is a different issue, LOL.

@Gomez561Ай бұрын
One big point of why people build High-end Audio systems is to be sonically transported to the time and space where a recording happened. When a good speaker system is set up in a properly acoustically treated space, live recording playback should create a realistic illusion of being in the space of the recording. You should audibly "feel" the size of the space and the arrangement or sound stage of musicians in front of you... you can feel the size of music, for example, in a huge church or the intimate space of a tavern etc. I believe that is the biggest point this video missed out on. That is not to say one can't enjoy an orchestral piece through your iPhone speaker... my point is that there are levels to this sh!te (haha) and recreating the visceral experience of what it actually sounds like to be at a concert hall is not easy or cheap. Also, one can spend a fraction of this $370K cost and build a system and a room that can get say 80% "close" to what this system does. In High-end audio getting closer to 100% of what a system like this can do is where things get very expensive like crazy compounding price increases for performance increments of 1% to 5% at a time.

Not sure why this piece didn't talk about the source, most audiophiles consider vinyl to be the best source for high-end audio. Interestingly enough, the dealer and I both chose the same test material, White Winds by Andreas Vollenweider, on vinyl of course. It is a flawless recording that demonstrates staging and separation better than any other recording I've ever heard. Currently I own a Linn audio system.

If you'd put average studio monitors next to the big speakers, like Focal Alphas or Yahama HS8, you would have a radically better sound for the same 500 dollars.

When comparing a $370k+ audio system to a $500 one, there are clear differences in performance and experience. These differences are relative, much like with watches, wine, houses, or cars. Some might dismiss high-end products because they haven't experienced them, similar to how someone who only drives a regular car might never understand the thrill and experience of driving a Ferrari. Without firsthand experience, opinions are often shaped by cognitive biases and personal perspectives. Additionally, value is subjective; many people prioritize savings or seek the best options within a certain price range or lifestyle. Conversely, those who have experienced high-end products and value the enhancements find the differences worthwhile. Ultimately, it's not about good versus bad, but about understanding how our perspectives, values, and cognitive biases influence our view of luxury purchases.

@@mateoakira yep, and it's one of the cool recording techniques within the audio hobby that can help demonstrate various effects off sound, remotely! However, this should only be used as a useful tool rather than a 1:1 copy of said effects. Hopefully this info will help others on the explanation of the earphone microphones and binaural recordings!

This sounds like a big ad sponsor.

First of all let’s at least at least have two Sonos Era 300s in stereo paired for this comparison 😅 Still apples to orange comparison but I’m impressed an Era 300 here in this talk.

'And ultimately all the money that's gone in the Chronosonic is there to make you feel something'. Really? An equipment that makes sound activating your ears and your listening sense makes you feel know?

There are a many fallacies in this review. More drivers absolutely does not mean more detail. Lol. More drivers give louder sound and wider frequency response, but at the expense of detail and coherence. The crucial part of a speaker is not just the drivers, but also the crossover. Many speaker designers would argue crossover is the heart of any speaker. If you can get away with no crossover or fewest possible number of components, then the better. Heavy dense cabinets are not necessarily better. They can over-dampen the sound into lifelessness. Some speaker companies utilize certain cabinet vibrations to complement the overall sound.

My $250 (each) Pioneer speakers have exactly the same frequency range (EDIT: actually a wider range, they go 20Hz to 50KHz) Maybe a better comparison could be made.

People have experienced the magic of music for centuries without needing the modernization of technology to improve it. Technology has made music more accessible rather than sound so much cleaner than half a century ago

Now compare them to the best $37,000 speakers in a blind test. Still out of reach of normal humans but also a tenth of the price!
