I hate to be a party-pooper but comparisons like this really don't tell much of anything (and YouTube is filled with them). Recording a single signal acoustically from a pair of speakers several feet away in an echoey room is the worst way to try to listen critically and try to absorb the sound

This is true. I've heard a few where people take direct recordings and then we're actually talking. I usually watch the videos and then when I hear this audio was directly recorded... Then I reach over and grab a pair of headphones. Beyond that my laptop speakers will do justice to the level
