What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like?

Bryon,

No, your ears are not crazy. You posted before I did so I thought I'd relieve you of any vestige of doubt as to your sanity, here.

All the best,
Nonoise

Thank you, Nonoise. I will print out your post and present it to my psychiatrist. Then she will finally have to rescind the restraining order.

Hi,

Haven't perused the thread and predict my sentiment has been articulated in some fashion hitherto -- a high-end stereo should have the capacity to reproduce its source with fidelity, room notwithstanding.

Now, some may not be enamored with what they experience; albeit, the sound is being reproduced with fidelity. Enter a device to tailor the experience which satisfies the listener's sonic aesthetic.

To me it would be something that you could turn on everyday and smile. If you are happy with your sound then it's high end to you. MTCW!

To my opinion, high end stereo should be looked at with two aspects: high end + stereo. High end is for someone with a lot of money to spend. Being put at a fancy room for appearance appreciation. Stereo is stereo sound for all of us to listen to our favourite music whenever we have time to relax. Fedility is a personal perferrence. Just like singers in American Idol final, they are all good singers but the winner is being judged. Your own system is being judge by yourself. If you think further, violin plays a note is a note, but there are some famous violin outt here cost you a lot more. Why.........
