@immatthewj I have heard his name. Also about his political stuff. So unlikely to ever look him up.
what system musicians prefer? Do they care?
One example I know is the Cambridge Soundworks Mick Fleetwood Speaker System, which I finally purchased last year, I knew my collection would not be complete without it. It's evidence of great talents crossing paths: a genious speaker designer Henry Kloss, and Mick Fleetwood, one of the greatest drummers of the century (and the previous one). But I don't see musicians weighing in on what are good systems are, how much is it worth spending and what to focus on. It's much more like rich douchebags bragging about the price of their systems on these forums.

@billstevenson You make some very good points about musicians vs. pure audiophiles. Speaking from my musician side, i do have a very good understanding as to what i want my system to sound like, and do not suffer from 'audiophile nervosa'...yet. |
Drummer here, and this has had a major influence on my system choices for sure. I know what the base drum and cymbals should sounds like, sound pressure level, tone, sustain of the cymbals etc… 3 years ago I spent the day in LA auditioning various higher end systems, and was left depressed that every system I listed to had either no base, very little base and certainly no realistic sound pressure levels. I was listening to systems ranging between 60 to 150k. The last audio store I went to was Legacy audio, and immediately fell in love with the Focus XDs using the WAVLET. Price for system with dedicated streamer around 30k. I could not be happier. |
