Hi All,
So yesterday night I decided to do some experimenting.... I wanted to test if there is a difference between the sound reproduced through and AVR & Stereo amp, using the same set of speakers at the same dB's (was difficult to get 100% correct) using the same FLAC song. (I used Noise meter App so this is by no means a laboratory test) Sampling is also limited to around 16kHz due to streaming from Youtube - will conduct same test later this week using TIDAL Hi-Fi. (I am also not yet fully familiar with all audio terms, so please correct me when and where i make mistakes)
My conclusions are as follows:
1. AVR Results
AVR - lost of red around the 9kHz to right below before 0kHz (Sweet spot around 7kHz)
Lost of blueness around the 21 kHz mark and line spikes are visible. (Note the presence of blackness areas no sound???)
2. Stereo Results
Stereo - red around 9kHz to below 4kHz and then again from 1kHz to before 0kHz (Sweet spot around 7kHz)
Lots of blueness around the 21kHz mark and line spikes are more pronounce, visible and composed. (note the presence of bleakness areas considerably decreased.)
By looking at the two images I can clearly say and also judging from what I have heard that the Stereo amp definitely is more musical and fuller on the sound spectrum.
3. Stereo Bi-Wire Results
Bi-Wire - Sam results are the stereo setup but a lot more fuller?
Line spikes are even more pronounce now, and even fewer blackness areas visible. (the spectrum is more fuller now????)
So from my unscientific experiment judging by what I have heard, and analyzing the graphs I can definitely say the the Bi-Wiring of the Stereo amp is best for my listening requirements and that it is definitely more pronounce than just the Normal stereo setup.
Regarding the AVR vs Stere, well I would conclude that the Stereo amp is more musical and covers the spectrum better, while the AVR is louder but does not cover the spectrum as well.
What are your experiences and thoughts?
