Not impressed

Just getting sick of the Hi Fi Merry Go Around..

This is the reason why hi-end audio is loosing the battle to puny earphones. Trust me. You will not find the perfect sound or anything to close to that even if you pay $million. I've looked everywhere (shows and hi-end audio shops)to hear the sound and music which will satisfy me. No luck!

The speaker is like a monitor or a printer in a computer system. Even though the CPU is highest quality and HDD is 10 TB, people will only see B&W if the monitor/printer is B&W which is a cheaper element. The speaker is what you will hear. The speaker is the most important element in an audio system. Current hi-end audio speakers are not accurate nor detailed to give you feedback. If speakers let you hear the difference between cables or components clearly and accurately, the search will be done quickly.

I don't read anyone talk about musicality anymore in here. All you guys talk about the sound. I feel your pain! When even the sound is not right, how you can talk about the music.

Good luck finding the capable speaker! It's available and very affordable.

annnnnnd heeeeere's Alex! Just in time to pimp his speakers for you, guaranteed to solve all of your audio problems. LOL!

Seriously, I think everyone gets a little burnt out from chasing the absolute sound over the years. Just relax and take some time off. They will still be making this crap in a few years when your batteries are re-charged and you are ready to play again.

In response to Mihorn, I do not think there is a battle between high end audio and "puny earphones". Those who predominantly or exclusively use iPods or similar players with earbuds probably have no interest in high end audio for no other reason than either they have no familiarity with it or associate listening to music with mobility, and I don't mean upward.

You should speak with Bo1972. He goes all over the world and has tested every component and has done demonstrations for every manufacturer and has consistently shown hi-end dealers how to get the best sound at the shows. He has multitudes of clients that he had shown how to achieve a realistic 3d soundstage and accurate tonal timbres. He can help you get off the merry go round for sure!

A BOPHILE...wow. Bo1972 is an oddly misguided pretentious weirdo who should be ignored, as should Alex, and maybe Chayro since he's a Bophile. I should make a list...
