In Reply to: RE: If primarily you listen to rock, are you wasting your money in the high-end? posted by middleground on December 9, 2014 at 04:13:23:
I listen almost exclusively to classical and jazz and almost no rock and I also enjoy stock car racing. However watching stock car racing live is totally different than watching it on TV, similar to listening to Beethoven at a live performance compared to a $19.95 clock radio. So before you put stock car enthusiasts down, go see a live race. Otherwise just chalk it up to different strokes for different folks and stop sticking your nose in the air.
