Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?

Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2
Historically, if you appreciate non-exempt tonal accuracy and overall " concert hall" balance SPENDOR will do it a bit more realistically than the Harbeth, generally speaking. Since the original BC1 in 1970, the midrange, even with the New Company... 
Infinity IRS Betas
Probably because the idiots who had been using them or bought them used on and off for the last thirty or more years are about to move on to another innacurate monstrosity of the current audiophile scene; be that as it may! 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
How interesting! Is it any wonder most idiots like you wouldn't understand accuracy of sound reproduction if your life depended on it! Your brain is so fried that your dog ears can only hear a high pitched whistle. And you pretend to be an audio e... 
Best Preamp - NO preamp... (?)
It's been  that way 20 years ago for me and it's probably the same for many today. A DAC ( or CD player) directly into a power amp is the best route. People buying new DAC's today should look for the best one they can afford and make sure it has a... 
Mellow speakers
Mellow is good but you want accuracy ( hopefully) as well! This, of course, must fit into your price point(?)you happen to be on the right track, however. You mentioned "old" kef 104's.try to listen to or just BUY a pair of pre owned Spendor BC1, ...

What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself?
What it most definitely has taught me is that any person who has any intention of reproducing sound similar to a concert hall event in their home while evaluating  high end audio equipment must use classical programme material; anything else is la... 
Magico S1 Mk II - The First Review
"On the positive note, the extra treble also had more treble. That is, it wasn't just a matter of being tilted upwards."Besides the above kind of ridiculous statement, the author in no way is off putting , considering the fact that it was a total... 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
Seeing you enjoy jazz and classical and are used to a good stable image and deep stage, audition the D7 as well as the new D9. Also hear a classic Spendor ; preferably sp1 in latest incarnation. Best on the true sounds of instruments in a concert ... 
What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why?
Lol... Twenty thousand on a used speaker? You've got to be out of your mind. Ok: take $1200 and buy a pair of BC1 's and / or SP1 ; then use the rest on a used pair of magico's or a used pair of Avalon Eidolons. 
Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's?
John Dahlquist was a frequent guest back in the Early 70's at the New York audiophile club. He frequently explained and demonstrated  his Dq10 pre and post product model for us.having said that, the loudspeaker was theoretically supposed to be a m... 
Forward or laid back
I would hope the designer would measure the response anechoically and within a somewhat average sized, every day room without to many reflections or distortions obviously.....lol... You must start with a speaker or sound producing device that can ... 
Forward or laid back
Electronic or amplified music sources.........
