"That's so funny!!"
Agree.
WTF is "there". There is no "there". Loudness, bass extension and room size might require outrageously expensive audio systems. Some system deemed 95% "there" in some average room in some average house might be no where in a different room in that same house. And more than likely would be no where in a big room in a big house.
Not only that. Some system deemed 95% there in some room in some house based on some recording(s) could be no where near "there" if one choses different recordings on which to quantify the systems performance.
This downsizing stuff is just BS! I've got 2 stereos and couldn't downsize without being disappointed with the results. Sorry, nope, I'm not going to try to make people feel better who have to do with less. I was very, very careful when I upgraded - there is no free downgrade. If people were less careful when they upgraded, or upgraded based on flawed reasoning, well sure they can downgrade and maybe even be more happy. Not me - I recently tried building a second system from scratch. Didn't take long for the spending level on the second system to get close to the first - and where the second system is less evolved it is obvious when upon listening.
