So, I’ve been hearing more buzz about these so-called HTIB speakers lately. Frankly, after decades of following and testing audio gear, I find the craze a bit overstated. The manufacturers are touting revolutionary design changes and unmatched clarity, but can anyone here offer hard evidence that they really live up to the hype compared to more traditional, well-proven speaker systems?
Over the years, I’ve seen lots of innovations come and go, and it’s rare that something truly beats the classics without significant compromises elsewhere. Has anyone done long-term, controlled comparisons between these HTIB models and the established players in the market? Or am I just missing a genuinely groundbreaking tech this time around?
I’m curious if the community at large has any rigorous insights or if we’re just being sold the same old “innovation” in shiny packaging. Thoughts?
