@danvignau :" To the person who claims that classical and jazz are not something one necessarily needs to "Shoe Off) an audiophile system. BfS! Nothing demonstrates our systems' superiority as much as the tightness of an acoustic bass, or the accurate reproduction of acoustic instruments"

Not so. As someone who plays a Taylor 410, I've heard several systems that could fool me on acoustic guitar, even as far back as the early '90s (Magnepan III). But I've never heard one that could mimic my Marshall into a Celestion Vintage 30 cabinet. Not even close.
