The best place to listen to music??

@mikelavigne , WOW, beautiful gesture. Thank you.

Home, or at a place that features good actual musicians...a bar actually featuring a groovy stereo system seems like hipster or simply trendy silliness as that's not what bars are for, although it doesn't hurt to have an actual OK system in a bar...you could replicate that if you need to...invite a crowd of strangers in to walk around in front of your home system listening to things you might not like while you tweak your man bun. 

It is a lot cheaper and much less of a headache than hiring musicians and you get to write off your hi fi equipment! Let's see, did I buy that for the home or the office, (scratches chin.)

Here in New England we have an old expression, "Loose Marbles Roll West."

I am going to be visiting Tokyo in the Spring and will stop in to listen. I believe I have a responsibility to make suggestions as to how he can improve the sound ie. more watts for sure and a swarm of subwoofers at least. Suggestions please. The more people who agree on what he should upgrade the easier to convince him to upgrade. 

Your thoughts?
