methinks ‘tis time for Mr. and Mrs. Fox to take away their oldest child’s stereo until his homework is finished… like by the time he graduates high school
Our upstairs neighbors have huge speakers. I see them every time my husband & I go up to ask them – again – to turn down their music as my husband has to sleep during the day.
With today’s music, you don’t really need great speakers unless you want to feel the bass in your chest. If you watched the college football final last Monday, the halftime show, you know why you don’t need even mediocre speakers.
Very few stereos have high enough quality speakers to play music at high volume without lots of distortion. And of course, the higher the quality, the more expensive they are. Last week I was in a restaurant drive-through lane, and someone with what I think must have been incredibly high-priced speakers was blasting their car radio at a car wash, and there was no distortion that I could hear from something like 150 yards away.
Ever been in traffic and you can hear the BOOM BOOM BOOM, but can’t figure out where it came from? Low frequency (bass) notes are hard to pinpoint due to the long wavelength. That’s why they can hide the woofer in your trunk and it doesn’t mess up the stereo separation.

Ah, the days of the large stereo speaker…. I had them. My kids have seen them, but they think they’re just old-timey relics.
