I was demoing two of the most popular products mentioned on this site paired together. A very expensive ($5K+) pair of stand mounts and a popular Chinese manufactured tube amp.
They were poorly matched and I am sure can sound good with other equipment. The shocking part was when I asked the retailer why it sounded so bad he said it was because “my music sucked”. He then payed some obscure music that sounded good. I informed him I wasn’t planning on changing my listening tastes so I could have the pro ledge of owning these products.
Shockingly, I didn’t buy either item.
