Yeah, good speakers aren’t a thing any more because “Good enough”. There must be a solution to this problem. Nobody wants to build up an expensive component system because playing your media from analog or digital sources requires physical effort and requires actually getting up off the sofa. And you have to actually pay attention to the output and not, say, fiddle around with your smartphone.
And there is a solution: big speakers you connect to your network. Only everyone in this game has their own stupid proprietary solution (AirPlay, Sonos, ChromeCast Audio) the result of which is that we still haven’t actually solved the problem of how you get your computing devices to command your speakers to make noises using data stored on your NAS or from the cloud over your fast pipe. That’s where we’ve got to go. Get all your CDs, DVDs, tapes, LPs ripped into the best lossless formats that make sense, or get the HD equivalents, and we can do this, someday. Just as soon as the studios pull their fingers out of their bottoms and acknowledge that there’s a market for high-quality masters. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
