Building a high quality audio system [video]
Well, I&#x27;ll take that guy&#x27;s system over mine for sure.<p>However....!<p>For those unfamiliar with the hobby I&#x27;d like to mention something, however: you can have an <i>objectively very good</i> system for not too much money.<p>The research of (among others) Dr. Floyd Toole (formerly of Harman International) makes a very persuasive case that the &quot;best&quot; audio system is simply one that reproduces the input signal accurately, both on- and off-axis. There&#x27;s no secret sauce, really. It&#x27;s all in the measurements.<p>This can be achieved rather affordably. Monitors from JBL (a Harman company) and Kali (former Harman engineers) such as the JBL 305&#x2F;306&#x2F;308 and competing models from Kali were built around these principles and accomplish this starting at prices of several hundred $USD.<p>While formerly &quot;audiophiles&quot; were associated with snake oil and unlimited budgets, there are growing legions of those who subscribe to a more objectivist take on the hobby.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.audiosciencereview.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.audiosciencereview.com</a> (I have no affiliation) is one place to find such reviews and discussions.<p>I&#x27;m not an expert but have been in the hobby for a while and would be happy to answer questions if anybody&#x27;s had interest in the hobby but hasn&#x27;t known where&#x2F;how to get started.
