Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went?

If you listened to those particular speakers in person, you may wonder what if any progress was needed.

That demo track was horrible. Five minutes of people banging garbage cans.

It was really funny, the "music" ended, and the demonstrator was waiting for a big reaction from the people sitting there. I have to wonder what they were thinking, but it isn't hard to imagine.

" I'm sure, you'll get  there one day, but for now you can enjoy the sound from Best Buy."

Oh, you're quite the wise ass tannoy56! So I'm supposed to hear all of those "nuances" over computer speakers? You thought that was a worthy demo track and you're looking down on Best Buy? That's funny.

"The video I presented to you is not to be evaluated as a critical listening experience of the system, but to provide the viewer with some ideas and hint of what is possible to achieve with vintage drivers, transformers, capacitors etc."

Really? How were you supposed to be demonstrating that with such poor material and bad sound? I think that I have heard sound just as spectacular made by garbage collectors in alleyways...with better dynamic range.

That looked like a great system. Why wouldn't he choose a demo track with a combination of percussion, human voice. strings and brass instruments to showcase its capabilities?

What does McIntosh have to do with anything? I said before that the system looked to be amazing, but the demo was bad. First you mention Best Buy, and now I suppose Mac isn’t good enough for your refined tastes. What a snob. It so happens that I have owned quite a bit of tube gear and still do. And yes, I like Mac too.

I don’t even understand your point in starting this thread. What’s your question?

thyname,

How are you able to know the previous usermanes of a certain member? I have seen other members do it and I've always wondered.
