because I am in control of the bass integration; audience control; and overall volume. Tired of overblown bass amplification; disrespectful dumb-asses talking on their stupid cell phones; and also of having to wear ear plugs at live events. Acoustic group, small jazz ensemble, and classical events excluded.
Why I like my home system better than live music
Not sure which forum to place this, but since speakers are the most important in the audio chain besides the room, I'll start here. I know most audiophiles including me set live music as the reference to guage reproduced music in their homes. But I've come to the conclusion I enjoy my home system better than most live music. I can count on one hand musical venues that I think absolutely outclasses any system I've heard, but in most cases live music is just sounds bad. Is it just me who feels this way?
