Let’s look at one dimension, one of many, that might impact system matching and could lead to impacting a sense of synergy or not. For now assume the frequency response and other variables are constants for 2 speakers but look at how they differ in terms of their measured impedance and...

Ken, in your view, which of the two curves represents true fidelity? The trained listener's curve or the steady-state room curve? Also, do you have factual proof that we all hear, interpret, and emotionally respond to the curve that you view as the best approximation of true fidelity in the...

Certain combinations at the JHBFHE2022 surprised many as to how well they worked together, call it synergy if you wish, and therefore we are offering a promotion on the following 2 combinations: https://stereo-direct.co.za/products/copy-of-combo-fezz-audio-torus-5060-xavian-perla...

Glad you mention it. I didn't want to be the bad guy ;)

Maybe your findings align with the seminal research by the Harman Group. Untrained music lovers have no clue about what sounds good. :)

Thanks to those who have responded so far. The theory and principles mentioned are interesting. However, please also share your own experiences of when and how you achieved that elusive synergy. Tell us about the detail.

Absolutely Gavin, point well made.

The synergy between components is, for many enthusiasts at the heart of this hobby. If we exclude the one-brand system and active speakers with built-in dacs etc, for the rest of us, we probably spend most or at least a lot of our time on a quest to find that elusive synergy. What are the best...

An album of covers of one song that, in my book, rates as one of the best-written songs in modern music. Pale blue eyes; Lou Reed and the Valet Underground- the original The Killers Patti Smith Emmylou Harris Sheryl Crow and Emmylou Harris Elisabeth Cook Andrea Corr(live at Union Chapel) REM...

Thanks, we all try our best :) I would have liked to see more of the rooms or contexts of the equipment. The Pictures you shared are exactly what I had in mind with my opening post. Pics that capture the vibe and mood in the listening space. I look forward to exchanging more ideas and seeing...

Welcome Zero. A closet photographer myself and very interested in the art form as well. Hopefully, you also lift our game with this attempt. https://www.avforums.co.za/threads/hifi-art-great-photos-of-equipment.102553/

This is very kind and helpful-Thanks.

I will try and get to Spotify and Apple soon.
