Re: It's time to open our eyes and close our wallets!

Sadly, I couldn't agree with you more, Revelation Man. It's been my gospel for many years that the best audio system can only begin to approach the live experience. To me, audio systems always sound like the performance is on the other side of at least a couple of closed doors, as compared to, as you put it, the sound and force of the real thing. The sound of a crashing cymbal or the bleating of a tenor sax, as reproduced in the home, pales compared to the real thing.

On the other hand, some of the sparer acoustic genres can sound pretty good if the system is not pushed beyond realistic levels; o.k., ALMOST pretty good.

All that said, I'm not about to can the whole deal, as it's just too much fun discovering some new source to spin and enjoy!
