Most 'respected' musicians I know ( and I know quite a few, having being a pro myself), are not able to afford the kind of home gear they want, they can usually barely afford the pro gear that they need. Now IF you are talking of 'well known' musicians, many of whom are not as well 'respected' as a lot of these not so well known folk, then that is a different question. Seems like this group is all over the board...many have simple off-the-shelf big box store systems picked out for them by their rep.
What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to?
With all the debate on this piece of equipment is better than that, it got me to thinking… What setup do well respected musicians have, e.g. amps, speakers, etc. What does Wynton Marsalis listen to, for example? Just curious and thought it might be a fun topic.

@tablejockey Totally agree. I’m a drummer and couldn’t make a rehearsal once but my band decided to go ahead anyway. By all accounts it was a total mess and my stock went up greatly. Drummers might not be considered “musicians” by some, but I’d submit we’re at least necessary. IME, if the bass player and drummer (i.e. rhythm section) aren’t in synch, everything else crumbles. Just my experience.
Well said, and I completely agree. |
