Poll: How important is surround sound to you?
Nov 16th 2009 1:32AM (Engadget HD)I really enjoyed that part of your comment. Its true and it drives me nuts that people are so disconnected from surround sound or ever good sounding stereo setups. I think that it is a product of the time we living and I attribute most of the blame to apple and those crappy ear buds that everyone is listening to. No wonder you don't hear the difference between mp3 and uncompressed audio.
I sell home audio so I think I am a little bias on this topic. That being said some HTIB are decent and the rest are total crap. Plastic speakers boxes, hidden paper speakers behind their non removable grill. Terribly shrill tweeters. I saw one the other day advertising 10% THD.
Most of you said it is just as important as an HDTV (60%), you're wrong its more important.
Do you think you actually see the detail of your 1080p 42'' flat screen from 10 feet away? Wrong, but you pay for the technology that will be out of date and replaced by the next best thing in a year.
Speakers on the other hand are a solid purchase and investment. They are crafted with wooden cabinets and contain a technology that is consistent and reliable. They hold they're value fairly well and even if none of that were true, they would still be a worthwhile purchase for the relaxation and enjoyment that you get out of them use after use (after use).
Thats my rant for now, but I could go on for pages....
