Joseph796,
After 20 years in this crazy hobby, I've given up trying to convince skeptics
and I've definitely stopped feeding the trolls. I've watched people spend
$50k and fail to improve their sound by more than a skosh. I've watched
people spend half what I have and create systems that made me weep.
What works in one room won't work in another. I respect all views that are
based upon critical listening. I laugh at anyone who stands on the ground
explaining why something "can't fly." If a significant number of
people I respect enjoy something enough to buy it and keep it, I'll usually
try it. That strategy yields good results 98 percent of the time.
Btw, my elderly mother once commented that her old HDTV sure looked
better after I "messed around with that cable in the back." She
could care less that all I did was attach a $90 after-market power cord.
Does that prove anything? Obviously not. But, it *was* a fun moment.
