Can you be an audiophile if ...
Okay, I'm evaluating my system. Finally, I have my speakers elevated so that their realm of projection and soundstage meshes seamlessly in the family room. You see, I don't have a dedicated listening room. In fact, my system shares space in the family room with the furniture. My question is then, can one be satisfied as an audiophile if you have a piece of furniture that you sit on, placed between your speakers? I have just such an arrangement. It's not like that's where I sit to listen to the music when I'm really sitting down to listen to the music, but it's there nonetheless. And yet, it sounds pretty damned good, I think.
