Does my acoustic ideology make me an outcast?


I tend to represent the younger crowd and have always found myself at odds with most Audiophiles. I like my music with heavy bass lines, thick mid bass, and sparkling highs.
Not your Andre Bose type stuff, I still believe in accurate reproduction of sound. I just believe a system should be able to mimic any thing from gunshots to whispers - with all the bandwidth and clarity it deserves.

Somehow I never heard that kind of action from a pair of 901's. So, am I the new generation kicking out the old while they cry, kick, and scream? Or could I just be the next evolution of audio..... even 8 tracks were the sh** when they came out, right?

Dynami28 has a point actually. My main problem with Audiophile approved systems is that they often gloss over the "Life" of the music! Playing back a live recording is often times the best indicator of whether or not a system can reproduce sound faithfully. Live music is full of dynamic contrast, color and effortless clarity...many systems fail horribly.
I haven't failed, I've just found a thousand different ways that don't work.

Can I borrow that? :-)

Well you could ask Thomas Edison for permission, but I doubt that he will respond, one way or the other. ;)

Interesting. The only single time I had Bose "pimped" to me in the past 40 years was in the Bose store at a suburban mall. I can think of one fellow on Audio Asylum who seems to like 901s and he takes a mountain of abuse for it.

I'm not disputing your experience, but it certainly seems different from what everyone else has seen.
Only clueless people think Bose is something to aspire to. Usually when I tell someone I don't know I have a nice system they ask if it's a Bose. After hearing that I know there is not much point in discussing audio with this person. Some people are so clueless/brainwashed that they can't believe there is actually something better than Bose. I guess having a huge advertising budget really does work on the uninitiated.
