You might think that classic stereo systems would have disappeared long ago, given that modern technologies offer consumers high-quality equipment for listening to multichannel music and watching films in multichannel formats. However, the good old stereo is still alive and well. Leading Hi-Fi and High-end manufacturers are updating their stereo lines in tribute to the home theatre trend.
We have become so used to the word ‘stereo’ that we seem to have forgotten what it means.
There is a perception that stereo is simply a pair of speakers that can play music. However, music is an extraordinary art form. Music cannot be seen or touched; we can only hear it when it is played. Music captivates, evokes feelings and awakens the imagination. Nothing compares to music in terms of its emotional impact. Often, this impact is deeper than we can understand. We evaluate musical works and what reproduces them, not with our minds, but with the power of the emotions they evoke.
The three-dimensional sound illusion of perspective and space immerses us in the world of music, evoking vivid sound images and visions. This type of sound is called stereophonic. Therefore, when we say ‘stereo,’ we mean, first and foremost, stereophonic audio systems capable of recreating a realistic and voluminous sound picture. Multichannel stereo systems are a new modern stage in the development of audio, bringing us closer to creating a complete stereophonic illusion. However, relatively simple two-channel stereo systems are where the exciting journey into the world of music and high art begins.
A realistic sound illusion is synonymous with good sound, and good sound is impossible without high-quality audio components. But even the best components may not sound good if you don't know how to combine them into a single system, and most importantly, if you don't fully understand what a complete system is. Fortunately, we do.
