Has anyone ever cried listening to your system

Every time someone mentions bose I get all excited and play along.

It happens occasionally, although I think it is a function of the music more than the system. I suspect the same would have occurred on lesser systems wiht the same music. The one I remember most vividly was at Fidelis HiFi. Toward the end of a demo session, the owner played Israel Kamakawiwo Ole, Facing Future. I struggled to control the tears, staring up at the ceiling. This is some of the most beautiful, soulful music I have ever heard. I am not the only one; looking at the ratings of this disc on Amazon.com, I have never seen so many 5star ratings, such a lack of negative comment. If you have never heard this music, you must get it. If you are not moved by this music, seek an exorcist - someone has stolen your soul.

having an emotional response when listening to music is a reaction to the music , not the sound quality of a stereo system. you can have the same reaction singing the music or listening to a table radio.

I have been actively listening to recorded music since I was 10. I have never been moved to tears until last year, and only twice, not balling, but tears were shed. Once was a Violin, the other was more lyrically based. I don't think you can have the same reaction listening to a table radio, you have to be able to feel the emotion in the music, and you have to have a system that is capable of amplifying that emotion. Or a really good table radio, whatever that is?

Yes...not not because of the system, because of the music...one the almost always gets me is Un Bel di from Madama Butterfly...
