... Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one.Ask inmate, tinear, he thinks he knows everything about high-end audio.
As an aside, folks always rabbit on about how "live music" is best. No caveats but just a straight out blunt statement, "live music is best".
I have listened to a 15/16 piece band in one of my machinery sheds. Concrete floor, 60' x 40' x 15'. I can tell you listening to live music in a steel shed is not very pleasant ~ (caveat, it was not pleasant to my ears, maybe others will like the sound of a band playing in a steel shed) Move the band out into a grass-covered paddock and it sounded wonderful. Same band, same music, different sound altogether.
Was any of it, "high-end"?
