Does my acoustic ideology make me an outcast?

I tend to represent the younger crowd and have always found myself at odds with most Audiophiles. I like my music with heavy bass lines, thick mid bass, and sparkling highs.
Not your Andre Bose type stuff, I still believe in accurate reproduction of sound. I just believe a system should be able to mimic any thing from gunshots to whispers - with all the bandwidth and clarity it deserves.

Somehow I never heard that kind of action from a pair of 901's. So, am I the new generation kicking out the old while they cry, kick, and scream? Or could I just be the next evolution of audio..... even 8 tracks were the sh** when they came out, right?

Wonderful responses, all.

Anyone who takes seriously, a hobby, will be considered a bit odd despite the timeline. Factor in a hobby with a quest and most folk will steer clear of you.

All the best,

That's why I phrased my question and comment the way I did. I know Bose is a best seller with the larger public, but if you carefully re-read Dynami28's original comment, he makes it clear that he thinks Bose is an exemplar among the older generation of "audiophiles". One doesn't have to read very deeply at any of the audio web sites to learn that isn't the case.

NoNoise,Oh. Is that what it is? If it's an applied model, I'm in a lot more trouble than I'm aware of!

Csontos, Onhwy61 speaks with tongue firmly implanted in cheek. lol.
I find it amusing that Andrew felt like telling us old Bose 901 loving audiophiles off. Oh my, heavens, did that young man just dismiss Bose???? LOL!
You just might be more like an old audiophile than you think Andrew. ;)
