Why Invest In The Best

Why Invest In The Best

Author: Damian Yoko

In this three part series I will present three reasons why spending extra for high quality sound systems is always worth it. I am 22 years old and I am currently studying a BA in Sound Production in Cape Town

When I was growing up I was exposed to arguably the most exponential advancement in technology. When I was young I remember having CRT TV sets, when the first HD TVs came out I was amazed. Soon 1080p HDTVs were commonplace and today we have displays boasting 8k resolution. That is literally nine times the resolution of the SDTVs I had when I was growing up.

I use the advancements of TVs as a way to illustrate how the advancements of visual have evolved and a lot of people are still using the speakers on their Ultra-HD TVs. I guess to a portion of the population this appeal to having high quality sound is falling on deaf ears. However for those of us who are audiophiles and enjoy the ability to hear the full frequency range, both for listening to music as well as being able to watch a movie with cinema-quality sound, the pleasure derived from crystal clear audio completely justifies the purchase of equipment that can produce it.
