Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home
@ghdprentice Thank you for elaborating. It does seem, from your second paragraph, that what you hear as good is also enjoyed by those who hear your system. You have taste, and others can appreciate your version of taste. Be well.  
Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways
@clearthinker I can see how those two might be swapped. Thanks! I appreciate the answers so far. There is a bias toward listening to music the way we look at paintings in a museum -- e.g., by staring at them. We call it "immersion" and we often ...

@lalitk @kota1  What do you listen for, sonically, in your non-FL system? Do you find you care about a sub in those areas or is it enough just to hear the main melody and perhaps some clarity in the mid to upper regions?  
Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread...

Also in Denver and saw him years ago. I was waiting for him, too.   
Buying Equipment Based on Philosophy???
I understand the word "philosophy" used in this context to indicate a complex notion, namely, design-used-for-intended-acoustics-complementary-of-music. In other words, there's a sound the designer has in mind -- a flavor profile, if you will -- ...

@ghdprentice  sounding better than anything I have heard before… to my ear. May I ask why you appended "to my ear" as a qualifier to your last remark? I ask this out of respect for your experience in the hobby. It would seem that adding that q...

Home demos are such a conundrum. Not for many companies. I guess the issue is that some audio companies are so small or cautious that they can’t take the risk. But The Music Room, Audio Advisor, Crutchfield. Fritz speakers, Salk Speakers, Ohm s...

@sounds_real_audio  Your comment reminds me of Truman Capote's comment about the work of Jack Kerouac: “That's not writing, that's typing.”  
Cables from amp to preamp or longer speaker cables…
There are unbalanced to unbalanced converters. I don't know what people think about their sound, but that might be something necessary for your setup.  
I love my analysis plus but...
@grk And yet, with all that's going on in the world, you're bothered by @soix being bothered? Perhaps "move on" is some good advice for more than just @soix, eh?
