My god man, my GOD! I had so many of the exact same thoughts in my head as I watched Darko's video. Thank heavens for S|A
Just saw this video. Very good/ accurate comments regarding "many" reviewers these days. IMO "all" reviewers should state their range of hearing, also how the speaker is placed, the size of the room, and what is the room's acoustics like.
I love it when such an excellent video drops in my UA-cam feed.
I was fishing about on the Zu Audio DWX speakers after seeing the ASR apparatchiks going off on him over Zu. A reviewer was doing the exact same thing…parings … trying to explain opportunities for the Zu DWX speakers to fit into your life or whatever…
I miss the reviewer reviews but I get just doing reviews
Your expossing these so called audio reviewers lack of substance and tech backup. Well done.
This is really your expertise.
Greatings from the Netherlands.
Excellent vid. Aperion super tweeters really add to the whole sound of your speakers.
Lol, dude was off his rocker with that review... Nice video. More of these!
I like your videos', your funny while being truthful.
The "audiophile" reviewers are masters of verbal puffery.
You have a point here. I like Darko's videos, but that was an awful review. I remember watching and wondering what the hell he was talking about.
ummm......a YT'r with a stuffed toy and anger issues.
Who’s gonna tell him ^
But it is true ! Darko 😂
You don't get his humor.
Yep! He's absolutely good. It doesn't get any better than this! 😅🤣
@spacejaime
Humor? This person is not even a good clown.
Btw, I don't think the lintons need any "help" with their highs. They're not very bright, sure, but they sound might sweet. Best sounding speaker i've ever had. And I had quite a few. but at the end of the day, sound is very personal. I love them, someone else will hate them. That's all :)
This video is brought to you by AperionAudioSpeakers.
Sadly, that's how I felt when I made the video. Luckily I wasn't kind to them when I reviewed their bookshelf speakers - too hard to drive.
I enjoyed your video and have subscribed. I understand your point regarding Dark Audio and all that he had to say.
As a result, I am anxious to hear the Wharfedale Linton.
By the way, you were a bit harsh on Dark Audio.
My speakers + my favorite scientific audiophile.
Lets go
Edit: also isn't the -3db point for the lintons not closer to some thing like 15kHz in the measurements shown at 7:13. As well if you look at erins audio corners measurement the roll of apears to be happening at even higher frequencies some were around 17kHz. Hard to exactly read with the log scale. But this is just some nitpicking and maybe i am just unable to read log scales.
yeah i’d go off erins measurements even or especially over a manufactures. drop off after 12k sounds really early for a speaker. doesn’t seem right
Erin’s Audio Corner had a favorable review of these speakers (with grills on for less diffraction) using Klippel..
They’re quite good speakers.
Super tweeters huh? Aren’t those a nightmare to implement without getting massive comb filtering? Also I’m not sure you’re reading the fr graph right, maybe you should take a second closer look. You had a few good points about Darkos video tho.
This really is an excellent video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Looking forward to your review of these speakers
Watched til the end, got sent here by dem algoriddims.
I'm honestly trying to understand the point of the video? Why the beginning(and title? and the subject? I guess for the clicks, because your still at 3k subs, and Darko is somewhere quite different. sorry had to go there), why the poo pooing of his SUBJECTIVE views? They are no definitive end all be all truths. I would say most watching would understand that. You kind of came off that way, as the "knower of truth", but that's just my opinion.
If this video would've only been the recommendations and suggestions at the end, I would've given it a thumbs up. This time no.
Good luck with the channel. 👍
Yeah, same to me. No offence, but he does sound like Amir at ASR, with that chuckle and sometimes gloating tone. Darko does explain on a beginners level, to fit everyone, because all viewers are not wealthy (wannabe?) audiophiles. I also got here by the algorithm.
Are you slightly slow? This video is to clean up all the mess these influencers (not reviewers) have done. They have literally no idea about audio, science, how the measurements work etc. They recommend products basing on their imagination and people spend money on something which isnt worth a penny. People spend their hard earned money on setups which are faulty from the start.
"because your still at 3k subs, and Darko is somewhere quite different"- all these hundreds of thousands subscribers of these audio influencers are people with your thinking. If youre not interested in truth and science, go lick their boots noob.
I’m getting older and 20k is just a memory. I find a little distortion at 10 to 12k produces “bright” sound that make my ears cringe. Cheap tweeters and woofers, uncomfortable with mids and cheap amps, uncomfortable everywhere proliferate. I trust JD and enjoy his reviews. Given all amps nearly flat frequency response he made a mistake. If you want awesome treble, find an old pair of Decca’s. I rue the day I sold my old Quad’s and Decca’s. And please chill out a bit!
I will try. Thanks for the comment.
I enjoyed your video. Something about glass houses and stones comes to mind. Mr. Darko uses linguistic technics that may elude some. Keep up the good work you make a good foil for the rapier called Darko.
Not impressed. Why don't you create your own original content rather than criticizing the material of others? Show your viewers what a perfect review looks and sounds like.
Did you watch till the end ? If so, that's longer than I can watch darko.
I am very happy with this critical approach. These other reviewers are pulling the wool over ppls eyes. They are dangerous and need to be stopped.
I'm genuinely curious, what about him would suggest that he's here to impress you? What things happened that compelled you to draw this conclusion?
@@wicommsreally! I didn’t realize these guys were funding Hamas. DANGEROUS!!!
Snoflake allert. Someone is afraid of criticism of stupidity..
What is your contribution regarding the Lintons that the video you are criticizing has not made?
Suggest you rewatch.
It's like saying I don't want to watch TV but instead of doing the logical thing & turning it off I just turn the TV around.
I really hope he responds...! I'm sure someone will tell him about this video.
Saving the “Scientific Audiophile” review of Darko’s video:
John has a projector, so do I, his analogy was perfectly understandable and accurate. Maybe tone the negativity down, friend.
Perfectly understandable to projector haters. I'm a projector lover and his analogy was, to be completely honest, anti-projectors. I cried for days before I could even pick up a camera and make his video better.
I just see jealousy all over this video.
Shame...🤦🏻♂️
@@deonellis8577if that's what you see, you're looking in the wrong place!
A top Oled or QD-Oled looks a lot better than 3x the cost projector, he definitely knows more about image quality than sound quality.
LG's OLED are gorgeous and throw a fantastic image, but a top line Sony 4k projector that puts out 10,000 lumens, focused on a 65" screen (just to compare apples to apples), will outshine it in all but the darkest blacks. Don't get me wrong, I'm about to buy a LG G3, so there's a place for TVs and projectors in this world.
I just bought a G3, and I’m loving it! A great upgrade to my trusty old plasma.
Darko is a great reviewer. He is capable of creating a reviewing context that is familiar territory for anyone seeking an impression of what a product does. The Wharfedales are going for an audience whose uncritical listening is satisfied by something more editorialised without straying too far from accuracy. The detail is there if you want it but not forensically exposed. The speaker doesn’t need a super tweeter. It wasn’t to Darko’s taste but he could empathise with what was on offer. He wasn’t advocating using a budget amplifier as much as saying that the excesses of such an amplifier would be rendered harmless and the speaker would still shine. He was hinting at the nostalgic premise of the speaker’s presentation rather than suggesting only using it with cheap equipment. We also need to remember that class-D amplifiers are often hyper detailed and dry sounding as an example of what can be wrong with sound. People choosing the Wharfedales will be looking for a relaxed view of their music without fatigue and that’s what Darko was saying. Just like televisions nowadays are often so unnatural in their presentation he was alluding to the Wharfedales being more naturalistic to the buyers who gravitate towards something that pulls the extremes of heightened acutance back towards natural.
You have great insight! Which I agree with!
Sterophile magazine says It is superbly flat and even up to 15kHz, above which the tweeter's output rapidly rolls off. No mention of 12kHz as an issue. Is there an element of misreading data in order to peddle a solution to a problem which doesn’t really exist? Just asking.
Frequency response pulled directly from Stereophile website.
@@scientificaudiophile chart or underlying data - might you have mistaken a log scale on the x axis?
@@christophergray576 Yes, they mention superbly flat to 15 kHz, but the graph shows a 4 dB rolloff from 12 - 15kHz, then it really rolls off.
Hmm… 4dB rolloff doesn’t look to be at 12kHz. Closer to 17 or 18kHz. Sorry but that log graph has been clearly misread.
@@quangdoan3108def seems to drop well before that. crazy weird like a low pas filter you’d not want. maybe erins measurements would be best reference. hard to tell on this graph for sure.
Interesting video thank you.
I like your down to earth comments. I have subscribed. I also currently watch Darko, the British Audiophile and even sometimes the Cheapaudioman.
Tbh. I like aspects of all of them. But I guess in two of these three cases success leaves them open to being influenced, even if subconsciously.
Your exposure of the sometime pretentious and "flowery" embellishments is maybe over due. But as a Brit, we like your kind of "pricking the pompous bubble" humour.
Thats not to say any of those I mention arnt good entertainment. Or in the case of Tarun (British Audiophile), not as far as I know doing it for a "living", but still to me at least very technically knowledgeable.
Its pretty poor show if they come after you. You cant use the language they all do and not take a bit of "down to earth"ism.
Fair play to you mate. Look foward to your actual product reviews.
You should make more videos like this because there are so many out there like Darko. Pretending knowing so much but in reality has no clue.
I take issue with your suggestion that it doesn’t make sense to pair the Lintons with a quality inexpensive Class D amplifier. Amplification isn’t magic. The new Fosi V3 and Allo Audio’s Volt + D amplifiers are tremendous offerings which use little power and take up little space. Class D is the high end now (and I say this owning a stupid number of Class A amplifiers).
The best way to build a high end setup for 2 grand is to spend most of your money on the speakers.
Darko's suggestion wasn't to pair the Lintons with a good amp like the Fosi, but a bad one that doesn't have a flat frequency response.
@@scientificaudiophile "Darko's suggestion wasn't to pair the Lintons with a good amp like the Fosi, but a bad one that doesn't have a flat frequency response." What exact model did he suggest?
I was lucky and got a pair with stands for 650€. I thought i take it, if i don't like it i just sell them for 750€ ;-).
I like them, even more than my ATC SCM19v2 with sub. I use a MiniDSP Flex as preamp/dac and to fix a room issue in the bass region, the rest is unchanged. My amp is a Yamaha A-S 1200, but i have them running with a Fosi V3 48v right now. To be honest, i can't tell a difference. I think the V3 is, even though there is some design inherent load dependency, a very nice little amp.
Hard to justify keeping the A-S 1200 now. 😅
The FOSI with the 48volt power adapter is excellent. Class D amps still have to do a little work to get rid of some frequency responses changing with different ohm loads, but that probably won’t be long now. NAD is making a great, but expensive class D amp that solves the issue. When the FOSI’s of this world can duplicate that under $300, the world of hi-end amplification may change rapidly.
@@scientificaudiophile the issues you’re speaking of exist in mostly inaudible regions and really only vary by less than 1db. It’s very, very minor.
I have a Purifi amplifier and you can find some makers around a grand. Fantastic amplifier, I highly recommend to anyone that wants an ideal amplifier but doesn’t mind missing out on “euphoric distortion” that typical audiophiles seem to crave.
Nad c268 is a great amp, especially bridged with a 2nd c268😊😊
Use a good tubed preamp and you have both high wattage and that desired euphoric 2nd order distortion.
Was this Rant really necessary ? Maybe you should consult or look into anger management therapy ?!?!
He is calling out bs.
He’s angry because so many of the anointed audiophile ‘authorities’ are misleading the credulous flock with torrents of bullshit.
Ya I think it's necessary. People buy things based on what this person says. They can't always afford it. When he gives bunk advice , he is wasting people's money.
SA is totally correct so YES this was necessary.
Darko it seems, is very much in the dark!😁
Hello there, in regards of the measurements you provided and your personal opinion on the lintons, what are your personal thoughts ? What does the speaker lack/ positive insights? Do you have suggestions in order to internally make these speakers better? Maybe changing SOME filter components? I have heard/read (amongst other things) that soldering the internal cabling straight to the tweeter/mids meanwhile removing the connectors could boost performances is this true or BS? Best regards, William 🇧🇪
Interesting video
Let it be known that Steve Huff just reviewed a $180 tube integrated amp a few days ago, however, the reason I don't like those tubed amps is that they don't reach 38kHz where I can hear most of the music. Thumbs down for that amp.
Shortly after my marriage, I was very disappointed by the cooking skills of my wife. But there was a solution! A cooking class as a gift.
Excellent! I went the last Mom cook route and skipped the wife
I would bi-amp those Aperion super-tweeters with that $79 digital amp, then turn the db knob to the max! Those Lintons will no longer sound like all the washed - out video projectors we have nowadays!
this is an incredible video. Glad it is back
Darko didn’t have a leg to stand on, but he accomplished his goal of shutting it down for 10 days so he could get another video up and knock the momentum out of my video. Sadly copyright abuse is very common on UA-cam. Thanks for watching.
I completely agree with how Darko described the speaker. I had the exact same thoughts after setting up the purchased speakers. Linton's target group is those aged 50 and over, so the comment about the roll-off is irrelevant, especially the advice on buying super tweeters. I'm glad I steered clear of the sharp and exaggerated tweeter. I'm writing all this in relation to Focal...
I am over 50.....
I did think he was saying some strange things in that Linton review...Im no "expert" though things he was saying were sounding funny to me too.
Absolute common sense! Great video!
Glad you liked it!
Hello SA. Thanks for cutting through the 🐂💩! I am curious what your take is on the age-old question: Linton or Model 5…? Keep spewing the truth…! 😡💪
Log10 graph 🤦♂️
Viewers may want a closer look and consider whether there is any benefit/merit to the recommendation of an external tweeter for the Lintons.
What Darko is saying is that you can have big and washed sound with little precision and resolution with the Linton. (It's like Sonos music in your house, you can hear it for hours but it's lacking in most respects)
...or smaller sound, but higher definition sound (such as an LS-50) at the same price points.
There is no such thing as a "bright amplifier" (try asking in ASR, LOL)
After 18 months of ownership I switched my Lintons for Q Acoustics 5040's. No regrets. The Lintons really lack the clarity I love.
I had returned my Linton's due to the roll off on the high end. It was a tough decision because I was in love with the mahogany cabinets, but I am very satisfied with my rig now... Darko is on point!
Great video, lots of pro UA-camrs like Darko and Cheap Audio Man, are basically junk food for audiophiles. I’ve tried watching both of them in the past, and they are just not my cup of tea. I would not purchase one item that these two reviews recommend. Hopefully the back lash has been taken care off! I will say that Darko has great video production skill, but horrible reviewing skills! I give him credit for his UA-cam success, which shows us that even poor understanding of great audio products can be sold to viewers who love junk food audio reviews. 🤷♂️
You forgot to mention that Robertson guy or whatever his name is.
Why do you need to be so condescending, opinionated on another view point. When its all subjective to the listener. Your view is no more or less credible than Darko. It's so disappointing to see rants like this no respect or kindness on a social media platform. Music is not just about science, I have studied in and worked within the electronics industry as a design engineer and understand that music is emotive and subjective. Well enjoy your life I shall simply ignore your channel because of your approach. 🥴
Please, don't leave comments like this. It makes you look like a fool.
i get that there’s empathy to be had toward the other but why is it fair that someone be so confident in giving audio advice that really does involve logical fallacy. it really does misguided ppl. all the big channels do. i’ve been studying all their pretensions or straight up lazy ways for a year. have empathy too for ppl who need real info but can’t find it, deceived / learn nothing?
it takes days on end to get legit info. i read this channel’s tone as warranted frustration.
But the person in question is not making music, he is doing product reviews incorporating nonsensical statements. Your reasoning makes no sense in the given context.
I reject the concept that everybody has to be shown "respect" or kindness no matter what anyway; it is counter-productive to any discourse.
"Your view is no more or less credible than Darko" - if you can't see the difference between scientific facts and tall tales, you're part of the problem. NOOB
He doesn't realize that some speakers are conservative in nature they roll off the top end, this is from a 70 year old audiophile, I've listened to bright speakers and they are annoying, most likely that the Litton's where made to bring back that sound
Not to mention Darko is using them incorrectly. Linton's are supposed to be played with their fronts ON. not OFF.
even though the proper way to respond to Darko is by doing an actual review and not selling supertweeters, I think your comments educate the viewers. Most review channels are just taking advantage of newbies with buzz words...
I think to buy the Linton 85 for my old Marantz PM68. Listen mainly Jazz Blues and like Dire Strait and similar. My Dealer said better the Linton then Dali Oberon 7? I am lost, everyone telling me diffferent. I tested and hear 12kHz but nothiing mor above. thanks to my age and 30 years motorcycle
Please review Paul Simon’s new project ‘Seven Psalms’ and incorporate some “shilling” with your evaluation equipment , thx
Darko has no idea what he's doing. I respect that he seems to understand that the human brain isn't designed to remember relatively subtle differences in audio, but other than that, he's about as dependable as a coin flip on his best day.
hello!! I own the Lintons and power them with a Cambridge Audio AXR100...my listening room is not huge and i am older, and probably don't hear the best...i am considering upgrading my amp to something in the 1500-3000 dollar range...looking at Technics, Yamaha etc....any direction or input? thank you!!
Anything in that price range will push the Lintons as far as you want them to go, but if you want an amp with so much clean power, then I’d recommend you wait for Aperion’s new 2 channel 700 watt (8ohm), 1,000 watt (4 ohm) amplifier. www.aperionaudio.com/products/energy-pro-e2h
@@scientificaudiophile great!! Thank you!!
Check Erin's measurements. Lintons are perfect.
I did. Not sure why his are so good while Stereophile shows a drop in the + 12khz range.
Erin's measurements weren't perfect. His measurements showed a dip in the upper mid range, which comported to his subjective experience. That said, the 85s seem quite capable at the price point.
So if the Lintons roll off @ 12kHz, no matter what "bright" electronics are paired with the Lintons, the Lintons will still not reproduce the higher frequencies.
Correct. If a speaker can’t produce 20hZ or 20khZ, no amp, however capable can make it produce that sound.
You're doing a good public service and in a entertaining way! Thanks
I try
Darko 🤦♂️
I’ve owned this speaker since 2020 and it has been a joy to listen to, love them.
With a F3 @ 50hz my Wharfedale provide solid bass performance in my room.
My subjective review = natural, sounds right, best bang for the money spent.
Eric Audio corner put the Linton’s on the Klippel and provides an excellent review of this speakers.
Brian
Erins Audio Corner is one of the best review channels. Thanks for the comment.
What amplifier do you use? Is the bass tight/fast enough?
@@jm-vq4cm Hello JM, my daily driver amp at the time of purchase was a Sugden ANV50 which I still own and love but sine 2021 I mostly use my Cayin CS55A in the winter and a Lyngdorf TDAI 1120/SDA2400 combo in the summer.
The Linton’s are great but do put out lots of bass energy into my room. Easily controlled with the Lyngdorf with room correction and by stuffing the ports (as required) with the Cayin.
I highly recommend getting a dealer demo just to get a taste of this speaker.
Brian
@@frostycanada6404 I already own this speaker. Im looking to upgrade my amplifier as I need more control in the bass.
60" true ribbon tweeter 😊
Thanks for this explanation. My days of "golden ears" are long past, thanks to some significant damage when I was a working musician. That said, I don't want to purchase crap. Thank you for explaining all the foolishness of a certain reviewer.
My golden ears must be gone too, but hearing Louis and Ella realistically reincarnated still makes an enjoyable mystical connection. Excellent locution of a stereo is better than a hearing aid. But, compromised hearing still can detect audible differences in minor changes. Hope loud music didn’t leave you with tinnitus. A bad infection left a ringing ear and it sucks. Took 5 years to ignore it.
Hope you feel better now you've bashed Darko.
Millions of Wharfedale users are also very happy.
What's going on in the audio world these days? Do people run out of treble knobs or something? A Supertwetter is of course the proper solution, but still...
But I have to say, there are some preamp's that conjure up a very large soundstage but don't deliver any bass at ALL. (No tone control)
B&W's are crap...THANK you! I HATE the crappy diamond tweeter for the reasons you stated.
I get sick of audio types that HATE treble and bass. They seem to want a gooey mid and rolled off treble. REAL music is forward.
So true
Darko is just making a living.
Beautiful cat
Thank you! 😊
LMAO that cat man!
Even when you are right, the way you deliver the message matters. This guy is so angry and negative, that I can't hear the message. Total fail. Thumbs down.
How are the super tweeters?
They're very good, but dialing them in using a manual crossover and decibel boost is pretty tricky. I would only recommend these if you really have a pair of speakers that can't play highs well, kind of like my JBL 3677's for home theater use. But for any decent stereo setup, these shouldn't be necessary.
I don’t consider myself knowledgeable in the HiFi area in anyway shape or form, nor do I have a proper listening room. I do have a Yamaha R-N803 amplifier (which I believe has pretty similar specs as the A-S801 as far as the amplifier section which I know was covered in a response to another video). I have a pair of Wharfedale Linton’s and a pair of Klipsch Heresy IV’s. I honestly think both sound good in their own way, but I have never felt the Linton’s sounded dark. They sound dark when compared directly to the Heresy’s which are using horns and probably emphasize the high frequencies more, but I have never considered these a design “fault” of the Linton’s, just the design difference between the 2 different speaker systems and the way they are designed to reproduce whatever frequency ranges. I’ve also never thought using a different amp would make them sound vastly different or that I should use a “brighter” amp with them as that just seems ridiculous. I do know that I can use the Yamaha Room Correction which does help things sound a little more balanced which again makes sense because the room will certainly effect the sound. Most of these ideas just seem logical to me but maybe not to others.
Great comments but why a $1500 pair of speakers lack tweeters that much to begin with? The $400 extra tweeters boost the price to almost $2k!!
I believe they were designed for that roll off. Many speakers are designed around a target curve which brings back memories of older listeners. It's not good engineering because the engineering design was done by the marketing department.
@@scientificaudiophile that's bad...worse even those speakers were acclaimed by all!! I was about to buy it before I read you. I will look elsewhere for sure Any thoughts about the Q350 or CSS Criton? Thanks!!
Haven’t heard either of them, but you can’t go wrong with KEF or REVEL.
@scientificaudiophile Q350 is from Kef and CSS is a diy highly praised by all. Both around $700. Thanks
👏👏👏
I can't hear above 12kHz, so it doesn't matter.
I own a pair of Lintons and i think they are an amazing speaker, that said I certainly wouldn't pair them with some of these cheap amps you see on Amazon, they perform better with larger amounts of power and most of these "300w" amps aren't 300w at all.
Sound like someone had subscriber envy
That’s why he came after me, but I won the copyright challenge.
Man, any projector is still going to be washed out compared to QD-OLED. Even other TVs looked washed out compared to that contrast and color volume. Right off the bat.
OK, I was with you there right up until you grabbed that f-ing ugly super tweeter. That is not the solution!
If I bought those speakers I would be playing with the crossover and perhaps adding a bypass cap and doing some measurements to confirm what I'm getting. It's possible the actual tweeter can't go higher than 12k but i would bet it's more the crossover using cheap parts or being overly padded down.
Sure, that's a more hands on and technical way to address it but at the end you might have a custom upgraded speaker that still looks classy and not like you added some random plastic box on top of that beautiful wood cabinet.
Gilbert Briggs would turn in his grave if you put a bypass cap on the crossover.
The Lintons don't fall off at 12khz, and the review you are misrepresenting here states they are "... superbly flat and even up to 15kHz, above which the tweeter's output rapidly rolls off". I think you read the chart wrong, so there's no need to buy the product you are selling, and you probably should issue a correction in the video.
This was a correction of the Darko video, in which he states they roll off at 12 khz. I'll correct mine if he corrects his.
@scientificaudiophile You need to learn to read a log chart. The distance of the falloff is approx. 20% of the distance between 10-100Khz. The log scale is in the 4 steps and as such the frequency fall off is 10^4.2 = 15849Hz. This fall off is clearly above 50% of your viewers hearing range. And you are trying to sell a supertweeter to your viewers as a solution to Darko's problem. The fact is that your solution is just as bad as bright sounding electronics. Throw money at it and ignore crossover superposition while you are at it. Those Lintons don't need any tweaking ... they are perfectly sound as it is.
tell that to Darko!
Augmenting a speaker with expensive additions like this seems silly. Just buy a speaker with a larger upper range if that's what you want.
I would love to see those super tweeters measured...I have a feeling it's not great, just based on a seeing measurements of their regular speakers
Noted!
So funny keep on the good job with all this snake oil sellers
Thanks, will do!
The audio business is so full of hype ...
Can I have em
Who cares about the Linton's , that cat stole the show.😊
I have the Lintons and I bought the Aperions and they did nothing! Aperion agreed with me and refunded me 100% refund and no re-shipping charge .I went to an audiologist and had a full hearnig test and I have no problems. This was done about 4 months ago. This guy lives in Barko Lounger Heaven who must love Hollywood from the sight of his room. Maybe cut down on your rather arrogant attitude but some people are just raised this way.
Blame my Dad for how I was raised. I do.
I'll fix your analogy with, don't do an analogy. -😅
Correction: ua-cam.com/video/6bqKbFj04IQ/v-deo.html
Good video, but I've never suggested watching a projector in a well lit room, that's why we have backlit TV's. As for HDR, that projector he used is far from top of the line. I would recommend the Sony VPL-GTZ380, which can drop 100 nits on a 100" screen in HDR. So I agree, in your living room, watching the Mindy Project, use your TV. When you want to watch a 4k masterpiece, like one of my videos, use your projector in a completely darkened environment.
@@scientificaudiophile Tv's are superior in everything but size and space accommodation, just saying.
@@kekkek7888 I don't disagree, but I don't like the idea that a projector throws a washed out image.
@@scientificaudiophile Well, it is subjective and depends on condition. In a dark environment (like your home theater) the projector does look good.
I’m not sure what the point of this video is…what are you trying to accomplish with this? Are you teaching us UA-cam watchers who enjoy audio products how to better watch videos and critique UA-camrs on their choice of words and descriptions? Honestly….how about make your own unique videos and don’t bother with piggybacking off more successful content creators
Suggest you rewatch to get the point.
I agree. Guy needs to move out of his parents house.
your dog needs a check-up man.
No dog. Must be my amazing sound system that is so realistic you thought you heard a dog.
So you have a dog doll 🤔 😂😂😂😂
Haha, nice video!!
Thanks....
Glad you liked it!
WTF are you holding ?
My cat, Helmholtz.
I have listened the Wharfedale Lintons for days !
THEY'RE NOT GOOD SPEAKERS !
They're beautiful, they have a soul, a something you'll love when they're sitting in your living room, but they do sound bad !
I disagree!
Suggesting cheap Chinese amps for the Lintons was one of the worst pieces of audio advice I've ever heard. Shockingly bad.
Actually that class d Aiyima amp is pretty good. I think it beats most sub $500 class AB amps in terms of sound quality.
@@jari121 do you own it? What He's saying here is that the power rating is deceptive as he suspects the distortion is fairly high when the amp is pushed toward max output. It may be okay for near field listening. There are likely many AB amps that can outperform it along a variety of measures. Cambridge audio, Yamaha, iota, etc. And his assertion that It is a bad idea to compensate for imbalanced speakers with imbalanced power seems sound to me! Like buying speakers that you know you'll have to EQ to make listenable.
@@lsaideOK No, but ASR has measured it. It's about the same amp as A07 that I own. A07 pro provide 60W to 8 Ohms and 110W to 4 Ohms at low distortion.
@@jari121 60w? Not bad unless you consider that ayima says it is 300 watts per channel! I just read the review and I would not buy one based on what ASR reported. And he also confirms my guess and says it may be okay for desktop use.
ASR does say that it has a flat response which again contradicts darko's claim that somehow a bright amp like the ayima will compensate for the rolled off lintons. Did you buy the amp to compensate for your imbalanced speakers?
@@jari121it’s not. I’ve heard it. It’s terrible in all departments. There’s literally nothing coming out of it other than a screeching mash of noise
Get a burd.
🤦
In my opinion kevlar bass bass/mid drivers shoukd be banned. It should be a ban on mentioning hifi or high fidelity in relation to loudspeakers built with such drivers. Loudspeakers with such drivers will never reproduce a high fidelity sound, they just sound.
No wonder Darko has 45 times more subscribers than you. He's analogies make perfect sense to me. Even Paul McGowan of PS Audio recommends his channel. Bashing someone else's content is pathetic and lame. Oh wait, you have graphs and curves, exciting.
Whoa! Did you just say 45x more people than my wonderful followers use bad analogies. I think that’s very bigoted. And then the king of manufacturing power regenerators recommends Darko. Well, maybe you are right.
Paul McGowan is another shill lmao 🤣🤣🤣
Dropping off at 12khz? The solution is to not buy them.
