Last week I visited an audio showroom to audition some speakers.
That was the first time I listened to hi fi speakers in any showroom.
I want to recollect my experiences here.
The first thing I noted was the difference in the sounds, it was immediately obvious.
I realised that all those times I was listening to music on my computer the sound was mashed up(don't know the right word here).
Whereas during the demo, the sound was something like crystal clear, I could hear the sound distinctly from every individual instrument and at the same time it was all in unison, I mean those individual sounds that I could recogonise where like parts of a whole and did not stick out.
The next thing I realised was somewhat strange and eerie.
As I was listening to the music, after a couple of minutes I sat with my eyes closed and suddenly I realised that I was not hearing the sounds through my ear. I was literally "feeling" the sound somewhere in front of me above my eyebrows. I immediately opened my eyes to see what was in front of me, but there was nothing and I could still "feel" the sound somewhere in front of me.
Then I thought something was wrong and I came out of the demo room.
