REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY?


One of the things that I have noticed is the kind of music being played to show system performance.  Full disclosure I’m with Infigo Audio. But as an audiophile I think it is important to hear your music in these systems.  Which means non hi rez stuff.  Stuff you would listen to in your system at home. I try to play everything at shows to show our performance.  Some systems to me are all presentation not as much performance. I play funk rock pop classical jazz folk R&B as well as test track to show what a system can do across a genres.  I think it is important to show that a system can perform on all materials. Some systems look good in presentation and sound great on hi rez and test tracks but are not musical involving and may not actually perform well across genres. Thoughts ?

I would let the exhibitor choose what is best for his gear.

I would not sit there very long if Metallica ,Slayer ,the above Youtube tracks or that kind of ´´noise ´´ was playing . Bring that kind of crap to the dealers for private playback , when your choices have been made.

Yea , and I could bring my prefered incense sticks , to get me into the right mood  , and those who can’t stand the smell , they can leave and return .

I am going to ask Mr. Spock to come with me at the next audio show  😉

 

I would prefer , vocal duo .

More joyfull , and there is more equilibrium and harmony than some posts on this thread .

 

Silent Pound speakers  seem  interesting.

But the choice of music in this audio show ......?????
