@bobinw, You make a good point. At the other end, I have worked in homes worth many millions that had neither any quality audio gear or any room that would make a good location for it. The more recent advent of the 'media room' means that some thought was given and some money was spent but almost always the focus is ground shaking movie sound tracks. Would be great if this group suddenly found an interest in hi end gear, the industry would welcome the support.
A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream......
Obviously you are familiar with AudiogoN and, likely, have a decent system. I have known this, but a great visual on what most people use for sound reproduction is a Craigslist in you area. If you have one or more market Craigslist available, check out what is for sale for "sound reproduction" on those sites. I thought I knew how bad it was, but it was beyond my imagination. But I guess that is the way it is with many things Americans buy to make noise, drive or eat at. Locally it is all under "electronics". ebay is somewhat better, but still a great deal more items you would not want vs. those you would.
In music, electronics, cars and so much more....."the road less traveled" is the best path. The poem is actually "the road not taken".
