stargazer3, when I was in school something was tossed out to me that I have believed ever since: the method behind a composition matters not one bit. All that counts is whether or not the piece is good.
Musician vs. audiophile
We need direction here. My wife, a musician and says my Sophia 3s, powered by BAT 3VK IX tube pre amp and 250w solid state amp sounds flat compared to a freaking Best Buy box store
McIntosh/Martin Logan setup... I can't honestly disagree, specifically when our rig is at low volume. It lacks color and punch, even with 2ea. JL 12" subs... Help me with your recommendation, please!!!
