So, I was going to go out with her to audition speakers tomorrow, then I hear her tell me that she bought new speakers yesterday. And doesn't like them.
She got these RA Labs speakers (model unknown) for ~$240, and (I'm translating here) says they sound grainy. I think. And it's 'very noticeable'.
Guy at the store says that she needs a better CDP. I highly doubt that the CDP is the culprit here--I mean I've tried comparing a DISCMAN to a Sony XA-777ES, fer god's sake, and I didn't notice any extra 'graininess' associated with the discman... and she's using a Denon minisystem CDP, which ought to be better than a discman, at least...
She said that it sounded ok at the store but not at home. I would rather suspect her amp...
On another note, maybe what she's trying to describe is actually more brightness than her old speakers. I think she said that the 'graininess' is associated with the hi-hats... there IS some grain associated with them isn't there??
