While listening to my stereo system recently, I once again realized that something was missing in the sound of my speakers—speakers that had garnered very high marks for musical accuracy in every review I had read. Over the years, I’ve occasionally repositioned them in the attempt to realize their true potential—attempts which yielded only minor improvements.
Then I suddenly realized the solution: The speakers needed to be placed on higher stands—they needed to be lifted up. The resulting change in sound was remarkable and completely revealed the speakers’ inherently beautiful quality. It was like getting a whole new sound system!
And that leads to the spiritual lesson behind this “tale of two speakers.”
