Low power tubes/High impedence speakers

Ok,I got the ball.I will need some blocking.Is this a 4th and one? So I gather you think power corrupts? No one system will be all things to all;and no system will sound exactly like live music.I guess therein is the problem. All is a placebo.The truly unattainable.I'ts just whatever you think sounds good, tempered with what you can afford. I presume you're just playing devil's advocate? People with our type of longing will continue toward the unattainable.I think there are two separate things going on for most of us.One is the love of the music.As an example;you love a piece of music,even if it is being played on a boom box, at work,or on your car radio; you don't want to turn it off till it finishes. OR;the other part of our hobby,(the complex part)Boy,that sounds so much better than before I bought that $10,000 tweak(which probably has more power/increased dynamics deeper soundstage,etc).I've been to peoples houses,where they may have 500 records,or that many cd's;and VERY low quality re play equiptment (20 year old stuff/or newer Radio Shack stuff)I have a friend with Krell, Theta, Mirage,and I honestly don't think he has a favorite group.He just randomly buys cd's.Well-two different prospectives,indeed. I,m afflicted with the love of the music,and the quest for better/more etc. Whatta ya think;no gain on that carry?

After I posted my first topic, I got to thinking (dangerous teritory), and decided that some refinement of purpose was in order. I'm thrilled that anyone actully responded to my soapbox ramblings. It is nice to know that I am not alone in a quest to connect to the music in a "better/more" kind of way as long as we are talking about an emotional or metaphysical connection, not just visceral fireworks. It is possible to achieve Better and More in our hobby through simplification. So many are in thrall with the numbers and complexities of the tools of our hobby, that they cannot see the the musical forest that is our "unattainable end" for the trees of equiptment based nonsense. Let us clear a pathway in our minds so that we treat the "means" of our hobby as such and nothing else. The "ends" will be so much sweeter that way. The simpler we make every facet of our systems the more musical involvment we will be afforded. The more involvment we achieve the less time we will spend being distracted from the very thing that got us involved in audio in the first place...THE MUSIC. Some people will alway obssess over equiptment, pity to them. I on the other hand will spend my time fogetting about the tools we require and melt away into where ever it is the music wants to take me.
