New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

@thyname ,

Man, that sucks.

But to the common person, "it" (that is how they refer to audio systems) should make "loud music". That's all they care for. Such folks need to be educated. My colleagues told me that they had heard "about high end" audio, but never imagined what it could do.

Unless folks like us put some effort into educating the "not-in-the-know" folks, they will never know to differentiate sound/noise from music.

People that don’t know don’t care IMO and IME. 
 

jBL or pick your poison Bluetooth sounds totally fine. Most people don’t need anything more and certainly would not put tens of thousands to hear better.

And my story does not support this. If they have not heard anything better, then yes, they would not know. This is the second time. Last time was in 2019, when a friend came over for a listen and was amazed what high end sounds like. We ended up getting a Revel F35/36 at the local dealer and a Hegel integrated (with onboard DAC) and Audio Envy cables. And this was right before the pandemic! I have posted about this story too, here on Audiogon. Yes. it is rare, but it does happen.

When I see that people have a list of components that cost more than I spent on cars, combined in my entire adult life and the same people rave about junk music (to my taste) I feel confused.

Yes this has been puzzling me for years too.

Folks with mega expensive systems who seem to prefer listening to emotionless garbage.

Always well recorded emotionless garbage, mind you.

What emotionless garbage are these "folks" listening to exactly? And what does it have to do with a relatively affordable speaker and hopefully good sounding speaker most of us haven't heard?
