Been awhile since I have been on this forum, though I thought I blew my A5s so I began freaking out....
Got home early today, my brother was at work and my parents were downtown. Figured hey... I wonder how far I can push the drivers on my A5... Like these videos. So I choose the worse source, I know some of you will disown me as a fellow A5 user. I used a Monster RCA to 3.5mm cable plugged into my phone playing music I bought off the Play store. Anyways I cranked some different music dubstep drake etc at 0.0 then +2. Drivers didn't move much but I was afraid to go any further... I then played the song Little Black Submarine by The Black Keys that I bought from the Play store. The guitar plucks (Not sure if that is what it is called, I played the Violin. That is what we called it) sounded uh well terrible... I heard it in both speakers, from the mid range driver. It sounded like it was just distorted and muddy, they were just terrible to me... I then played Gold On The Ceiling but just streaming it off the play store and it sounded even worse.... At this point I was freaking out thinking I did something horrible. So I put the Tron Soundtrack in my PS3, I know it is MP3 but when I switched it over from FLAC I tried to make it the best sound quality I could.
Wow.... It sounds fantastic..... I don't hear that muddyness I heard anymore. When the Horns play or the Orchestra kicks in, I am literally amazed. I am running PS3>HDMI>1121K>12Guage Blue jeans wire>A5s in PCM DIRECT mode. No subwoofer just the A5s. I never realized how truly important the source is until now... Literally I won't listen to those songs anymore unless I get them into a higher quality. Anyone else ever experience something like this?
Thank you Jon for such great speakers!
