When did you ever hear a system sound so life-like

Goldeneraguy--That is an incredibly lifelike recording. One of the most realistic and convincing ones I have ever heard on my system over the years.

1) late 80s/early 90s- HP's IRS System- huge dynamics, concert hall scale and feel.
2) with all modesty on my sleeve... my system last month with a (non mentioned for fear of never getting another pair) mid 90s tube amp driving the MBLs. I never heard a system produce instruments that sounded so real. It was unnerving. It though lasted only two weeks- til the amp blew. I'll get it back up and running and invite over some witnesses. I never had any of my systems do THIS- the real instrument in my room thing, and like many of us I've been at this since 8 years of life!

Rcprince,
I tried looking for that recording for many years.No luck so I gave up.
Enjoy your music

Breuninger,
I can identify with the mbl's. To my ears they are one of the few best speakers with proper setup.
The only other speaker up there next to the mbl's are the wilson x2 alexandria, totally believable!
I feel that playing the system while sitting in an adjacent room could easily fool me at times.

Peter What caused these amps to blow ?? I worry that if it can happen to someone with your expertise it can certainly happen to me.If they are being repaired in NY can you tell me who,here would trust with the repair ??
