The best place to listen to music??

Here in New England we have an old expression, "Loose Marbles Roll West."

It is a lot cheaper and much less of a headache than hiring musicians and you get to write off your hi fi equipment! Let's see, did I buy that for the home or the office, (scratches chin.)

They should probably have one music listening room and others that are relatively quiet for people who want to socialize. I think most of go to bars to socialize and we expect to have soft background music if anything. I go to concerts to listen to music. Some bars have dancing but I have little interest in thump bang disco music. It would be fun to hear what this system sounded like for sure.
soundsreal, sure, but I can't bury myself in the music and socialize at the same time. I can't bury myself in the music if there is too much background noise or the system sounds off. I can listen to anything as background music but then I am really not listening to the music. My idea of listening to music is to turn the lights off, lay back in a comfortable chair feet up with my head exactly were the calibration mic was and let the music cover me like a warm blanket eyes closed. The dichotomy of human existence. We can do such beautiful things as the most vicious animals in nature. 

sounds real, you bet. Our specialty is the Aperol Spritzer. I keep a bottle of XO around for the really special people. 

Clio, a VPI for sure. I don't think the other one is an SME. The Tonearm is certainly not an SME. Maybe an older Graham. 
I have never heard Line Magnetic stuff. It is certainly reasonable priced for point to point electronics. The speakers must be....very romantic. 
The woofer cabinet is constructed pretty much like old Bozaks. A big plywood box in this case ported with minimal bracing and fill. The enclosure itself is a musical instrument. You can see it opened up on their web site. Power these with their 160 watt single ended class A tube amps and run for cover. Boy I would love to hear that:) 

Yuck, I get sea sick. The bar might be a nice place to hear new music but for LISTENING like determining which cartridge images better? Forget it.
There is also no deep bass. Old Garrard's are great for slip cuing but rumble like express trains regardless of what all those Garrard fans say.
If you put my subwoofer system in there the rattles from all those bottles and glasses would ruin everything. No thanx. As Dorothy says, "There is no place like home." I can also get loaded there just fine.
