I think anyone who thinks audio via Youtube over computer speakers sounds good has spent way too much time listening to MP3 and other forms of low-fi audio.
The only thing you learn is that the speakes seem to work. And that's it. Even that could be faked!

What happened to our green background?

I agree-most computer speakers are at least as much of a bottleneck as the Youtube compressed audio format. Which is why I said in my first post in this thread that it's "Not a great recording, but better audio than most of this type that I've heard". Also when one of our members was trying to critique the crossovers of the speakers being filmed in the Youtube video I said "trying to do any kind of critical evaluation of speakers or their crossovers by listening to them through other speakers (and the mic. that was used) is not a good idea"......

Also the reason I said in the same post that "you're kind of "chasing rainbows" trying to do any kind of critical evaluation of the sound of speakers or their crossovers with this type of video as your computer speakers are a real "bottleneck" (and the microphone is a bottleneck too as it adds it's own character to the recording). Even an ideally mic.d recording with high quality microphones will sound like your computer speakers and also be affected by (have some character from) the microphones used so trying to evaluate crossover fatigue on the speakers in the video by listening to them over your computer speakers is an iffy proposition at best."

I forgot to listen till the end when the vocal kicks in . The speakers are great sounding. I use sennheiser head phones and HP audio card.

I will second that !!!!!! You can try all you want but you'll never capture the true sound. I'm a testament to that.

Glad I bought mine when I did ! And for only $909 in Total Mint condition. Not a scratch on them anywhere.

i have yet to read of anyone who thinks as such.

it isn't very hard to hear different tonal variations in youtube videos.

and i've got uninex headphones.

( 99 cents + tax )

this person has many speakers and combinations of equipment ,

including altec , easy to hear variations ...
