This is my first audio show. I had no expectations nor was I looking to purchase anything. I come away having met some good people who share my interests.
My take away:
- $1,000,000 systems sound fantastic - eg MBL
- Magnapans with well integrated subs are fantastic. <$10,000 system all in. Geesh.
- There is a lot of grey area. Don’t go there. Find that which is clear to you. Run from snake oil even if it has a well known brand. ( not naming names. )
- lots of HIFi available, not so much true Hi End. There is a clear difference.
- after Speakers, placement in a room and amps, EVERYTHING else is a tweak.
