OMG! This is 'only' a dedicated 2.1 system so that I can play with CD rips and the like but it does take my breath away! I throw on a track just to check it out and I find myself listening all the way to the end of the disk, going, wow... I never heard THAT before!
Music came alive! The emotional impact reminds me of the feelings I had many years ago in band and orchestra playing a baritone horn. We would get through one of the Brandenburg Concerto's and look at each other afterwards and sigh... We did it! Without screwing up!
To me, this is, after all, what we try to replicate in some small way the emotional involvement that music requires. It takes a willing participant. One willing to invest in it.
This is not a passive endeavor. If you want to Rock, you had better be willing to Roll!
