the quest for the best--within limits


many threads appear on these forums of the following type:

what is the best (fill in component type) that costs less than (fill in the price point) ?

i am curious as to why there are so many threads of this type, when, i suspect, the originator of the thread probably realizes that there is no definitive answer to such a question.

If this site every gave a defenitive answer on ANYTHING, people would not have so many questions. What's the point in searching the archives, if there are 235 answers posted, they will all be different. The best thing to do is to search the forums of each item of equipment and read what people that own the item have to say. And read between the lines even then. Audiogon is sort of like the UN of the audio world. Everyone's opinion has to be respected, no matter how silly.
Start listening to music and you will forget you even have a system. If you can hear your system, something is wrong. Maybe that's why there is so much talk about components. You people need to move up (up grade) to Polk and Harman Kardon!
