RE: What's easier to achieve in YOUR system...

Gee, that IS a tough one to answer directly, as everyone has an opinion and a preference...

Having said that (admitting my own biases?), my system disappears when playing live (well recorded) material- that is, the speakers cease to be the where the points of sound are generated from, and I am left with a convincing, 3D image that extends around, over, behind and ahead of me.

Is it RIGHT though? Who knows? I've never been to the hall in Chicago where Reiner and the CSO recorded. I haven't hung out in the studios where Kraftwerk and Radiohead created their art (or for that matter, argued with the members of Steely Dan about what mike to use on the drums or how to play that bass part with the right groove).

What I can say with assuredness is that every time I sit down to listen to music (record, DVD-A, FM, most CDs), with the lights off, the system ceases to exist in the confines of the living room. IS my system that good, or is it my brain, as simple a music lover that is, fooled into an alternate musical universe?

Tell me what YOU think about your own experiences in listening...

Cheers,
