My TV's speakers are awful! Luckily, when I retired my Musical Fidelity V-DAC from main listening duties, I found that the TV had a digital output, so it is still doing a nice job, tucked in behind the screen and feeding my system.

Lol that trickery I love neutral sounding stuff but I also want every detail reveaied, so I love a good subwoofer that I can tune to my extremely flat tastes... I know that people may like louder bass for explosions but many cinemas inevitably end up overdoing it and making the explosion sound so artificial... Which is why i sometimes prefer to wait for the movie to be available on blu-ray and then watch it on my TV connected to my PSB sound system

-When you go without an item because you can't quite afford the one(s) you want.
-When you don't even bother to listen to music since it won't sound "right" on a certain system.

I like this thread a lot for some reason... wonder why the previous one got locked

Thought of another one. You know you're an audiophile when your spouse points out how terrible something sounds. Makes me proud and sad all at the same time.

Because of 2-3 pages of beats bashing. Or maybe that was the non-audiophile reactions thread, not sure.

I hate when there's so much bass on the subwoofer I'm shaking from it violently.

I hope you're being sarcastic.

i think he means it literally... some cinemas really overdo it...

all my local cinema does that. :/

only the IMAX ones in Singapore are slightly better...

Strange, that never bothers me in movies (neither in music). I actually think it's quite nice. When I was watching the movie "Godzilla" in IMAX the floor was literally shaking viscerally, and it was awesome. I can't imagine anyone who would dislike that tbh.

Deep, ppwerful bass is good, - loud, boomy, mid-bass is not. I remember watching 'Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy' at an otherwise nice independent cinema in Scarborough and some idiot in the sound control booth had obviously been given a graphic equaliser for his birthday.
 
 
Great farts of flabby, uncontrolled booming made the dialogue almost impossible to follow.

Yea they really do. They should have parts where it's good to turn up the subwoofer like when Godzilla is stomping.

It sounded really meh when I watched it though. They really overloaded the speakers.
