REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY?

I would let the exhibitor choose what is best for his gear.

I would not sit there very long if Metallica ,Slayer ,the above Youtube tracks or that kind of ´´noise ´´ was playing . Bring that kind of crap to the dealers for private playback , when your choices have been made.

Too many were playing meh music., at AXPONA. I have no idea what they were thinking

I asked because we played hi rez but we mixed in some funk, rock, jazz and classical. I think test tracks are fine but when you get it home you ain’t listening to Keith Don’t Go.  We listened to Bootsy, War, Human League etc.  I say this because it also seems like part of the question was also presentation vs. performance.  I know some brands push looks over actual performance. When buying it’s smthg to consider. 

Yea , and I could bring my prefered incense sticks , to get me into the right mood  , and those who can’t stand the smell , they can leave and return .
