I think most people on this forum are interested to better understand what they have as well as to improve their systems, and also to learn a lot.
Within our systems we identify weaknesses, and recognize limitations and are unhappy with certain things while being happy with other things. Overall I’m happy with my system, however there are certain things that I wish were different. Making moves to change components is a financially serious issue and that adds to the frustration. As well as the procurement/ decision process which makes it even more difficult.
I am looking for new speakers and wish my speakers made me happier than they do. Overall I’ve got a nice system. And I wish recording quality would not complicate my ability to understand weaknesses within my system. Unfortunately I don’t have much to compare things too. I don’t think alot of people are in a position to compare what other systems are doing because not too many people have Systems like a lot of people on the forum. If you go to audio shows as crappy as the sound in those hotel rooms is that’s helpful but they usually mix in so many different things it’s hard to evaluate what’s really going on and it’s all reference grade stuff and who knows what it all is doing when mixed together. Audio stores have a limited offering and the variety to consider is not very good. So this really complicates understanding all those things that are out there that most of us will never be able to experience and that really sucks. So you take chances and you buy stuff and maybe it just doesn't work out.
