Good review though, AT was once on my list of HPs to buy, but with every review I read they seem less and less like what I'm looking for. More money for the Druids  |
Honestly, it wouldn't have made a difference. A good speaker rig, in fact even a mediocre speaker rig sounds more realistic than any headphone could. When you go to a musical performance it is in real space and no headphone can touch that. However, headphones have their place in the audio world, they can be extremely enjoyable and you often will hear detail that even the best speaker systems cannot reproduce in the average room.
He could have had any speaker and it would have won. A speaker - headphone comparison is like comparing two different kinds of fruit.
