Quoted from pindome:First off I'm a big fan and have been to a few concerts BUT to listen to Metallica music in mono through what are probably five dollar speakers with next to no EQ is Metallica sacrilege IMO.
Maybe because I have a very high end audio system which cost more than a Metallica LE - it's hard for me to spend 7K for a music pin that will sound like shit.
Am I the only one in this club?
I agree with you, but most people won't notice/care.
When the AC/DC premium/LE 12" woofer was released, most folks proclaimed how awesome it sounded. Hard for me to believe. The inefficiency of the 12" speaker sucked all the life out of the tiny amplifier. I installed all new drivers in my AC/DC...it improved the sound significantly, but there is only so much you can do with the dreadful mono samples.
Note that in general, I don't have high expectations for pinball audio...I'm typically happy with stock speakers.
