RE: What's keeping more people from becoming audiophiles?

"mainstream" music will sound fine on a decenbt system, The "super high end" stuff really isnt any better than most mid-fi stuff TBH, they just mad it uglier and it is voiced for the music that "audiophiles", listen to. Play anything else, and they fall apart. Mostly mids and highs but no bass.. such speakers are deemed to be "flat" when in fact they rolled half the sound off...

In order to defend this, they will say that the speakers are too "revealing", then in fact, they suck, and they want to justify as to why the listen to old man's music. They balk at the notion of playing anything that was recorded electronicly, when in fact such music is often as well recorded, and 90% better recoded, mastered and performed as good as that old fogy music.

Why would a 20 year old buy a system that was made to sound its bes ton old folks music.
