How to Get Better Music Quality from Your Existing Speakers
If you want to listen to music with better quality, you have to buy better speakers, right?
Wrong. When I learnt to use my speakers better, they sounded much better. I had no idea these budget speakers from 2005 were capable of such quality.
Here’s what to do:
Sit on the sofa and listen. Don’t walk around, because the music quality won’t be as good.
Use a wired connection if possible, AirPlay otherwise, Google Cast otherwise, and Bluetooth as the worst choice.
If they’re traditional stereo speakers, place them significantly apart, so that they form an equilateral triangle with you. This creates stereo separation, unlike when the speakers are close to each other. It’s amazing. It’s like hearing another layer to your favourite music, making it richer.
If you’re using the Denon DRA-800H receiver, Bose Portable Smart Speaker, or the Sony A95L’s built-in speakers, click the appropriate link to read a guide that tells you how to get the best audio quality for that speaker. If you’re using an Echo Dot with Clock (3rd gen), read footnotes 2 and 3.
