Tell us compliments received on your system...

My Bose Music wave radio sounds as good as this! And, pointing to my Krell 650mono amps between my Wilson MAXX speakers, "Boy, I can't believe the sound that comes out of those odd looking speakers in the middle there!"

My mother in law in regards to the Levinson 33H monoblocks:

"Those are the nicest electric room heaters I've ever seen".

:-) :-) :-) :-)

A simple "WOW" did it for me. My neighbor listenined to some vocals through my system at the time (Pathos Twin Towers driving VMPS 626R's, witha mod'd Sony SACD digital front end).

Second favorite: a smile. No comments, just a smile from my wife as I played Alison Kraus "Baby Now That I Found You" for her through a bedroom headphone system.

But my favorite comments were for visual impact. People of ALL sorts just loved the Gallo Solo's I had. Two giant eyeballs looking right at you ! Those wer fun times....

I guess I should sell my system and by me a Bose Music Wave Radio. The truth is, most poeple who hear my system are genuninely unimpressed. Most simply say politely 'it sounds nice'. Other comments, 'I had a $100 pair of speakers that sounded as good. Again from the same person 'the $50 sat/sub stereo in the kitchen sounds better. Yet another who thought it sounded incredible said 'I am not sure if I want to spend $1000 to get this good sound though'. He was listening to a $15K system. I guess he thought $1K at Best Buy could duplicate it. I am convinced that most people cannot appreciate the depth of sound that we hear.

None of my friends care. To me it sounds so much better than anything I have had before(so far from what I think would be ideal), but my friends are indifferent. I think that says a lot. One friend referred to the Denon as a "honking big thing". Does that count?
