audiophiles don’t listen to music with their equipment, they listen to their equipment with music. The more obsessed I became with gear and sound quality the less, I found, I was enjoying the music. I love the stones and the beatles but most of their music has no "sound quality" at all. I listen to a lot of good songs streaming youtube music videos but the mp3 s.q. is the worst. I just got maggie LRS speakers and they do make sh!tty recordings almost unlistenable. But I still have my wooden box speakers (ELAC debut B6)for when I want to rock out. And bad recordings do sound more listenable on them. My second wife was hotter looking than my first but sex wasn’t as good. Not sure what this has to do with anything but it seems somehow related.
Speakers that reveal bad recordings? Not for me.
Why is it ever desirable to have speakers that simply reflect whatever they are fed, for better or worse?
I can control the upstream equipment, but I cannot control the quality of the recording, which severely limits my freedom of music choice, defeating the purpose of an audio system. This just seems like common sense to me, and I get annoyed when a dealer or whomever mentions this as sign of quality. (Thanks for reading my rant.)
