A moment when you realized better sound was possible.

In 2001 i bought a car with an upgraded JBL sound system. As the years went by I got used to that sound, and one day I was listening to a CD in the car, and when I got home brought the CD in to continue listening. The sound on my home system was flat, dull and dead sounding in comparison. That realization started my on a quest for better sound, and years and dozens of speaker/amp combinations later, my home system sounds much, much better.

I went to a friends house back around 1988. He had just made two 18" floor firing subwoofers with passive crossovers and plenty of watts and current (I don't know the specs) to account for the impedance of his 9 Kappas. The difference in how those speakers sounded to mine, (I just had a pair of EPI towers) then with the difference of the subs was surreal to me. I noticed how much space between the notes was there and how if he turned it up, there was no pain to my ears. 

This started me on my "journey".
