In Reply to: Truth (music) is beautiful... posted by mkuller on February 24, 2006 at 11:00:20:
always has, always will.The trick is to learn to recognize real truth and real beauty...I suppose.
SET amplification with high quality, high efficiency speakers can provide both, and with some systems, on a level that simply leaves one breathless. Just can't move except to smile.
That is when you know why you continue to pursue this hobby.
