Tell us compliments received on your system...

So, it is common for a non-audiophile to doubt the need for high-end gear. Describe a compliment you remember from one of these folks when they hear your set-up.

I had one a while back that was kinda fun. Fellow saw my Dyn monitors and severely doubted they produced the bass that he was hearing. I told him there was no sub on- he looked all over until he found my sub in the corner. "What's this then?" he asked. "It's not on" I said, then I went over and turned it on. The sub is real clean- now he complained it wasn't boomy enough. I thought that was quite a compliment-even tho he didn't know it. Heheh ;-)

"That's (bass and volume, particulary freak out tyros) coming out of those (little) speakers?!"

My oldest daughter's friends came calling for her and when I answered the door they asked if I had a band playing live in my living room.

Praise indeed.

It's great when non-audiophile friends visit for the first time and say "I've never known this performer could sound so good" or "It sounds like they're right there". For me, that reinforces the immediate impact that an audiophile environment can make. Of course, I'll never know what is not being said -- e.g., "what a goof for spending that much time and money!" ;-)
