General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

You've pretty much answered all of your own questions...

Hip Hop is very purpose-driven music so a car stereo or a boombox often works just fine for it's reproduction. I agree that Hip Hop can sound as good or even better on lo-fi gear. So long as the system plays loudly and has bass, the synthetic sound will reach the ears and do it's duty. Hip Hop's lo-fi aspects could be one reason why Hip Hop is discussed so little around here, and I'm sure there are plenty of other websites around where Hip Hop fans would feel more welcome than they would here.

I agree that Jazz music is more about complexity and subtlety, acoustic instruments rather than synthesized sounds and bass power. For Jazz, a better system might provide a more rewarding listening experience.

AA does have a forum for Jazz and music in general and it's called "Music Lane". It just so happens that Classical music is the type most often discussed at Music Lane but it is supposed to be an all-purpose discussion venue.
