While everyone spends time determining what musical means, look up all of the definitions via the web, and you will see what it truly means. Years ago, I presented a question on this subject on another thread somewhere. Take a favorite, well seasoned musician of yours....keeping it simple, let us use Elton John. Now, take another piano player / singer.....just an average Joe newbie, who is 1st learning to play/sing ( who is " not as masterful " as Elton ). This is the interesting part......ready.......Would you rather listen to Elton play in an airport boarding area, or the newbie play Elton material, in Carnegie Hall, sitting in the best seat, of your selection. Which would you consider to be the more musical ? Think about this, and state your thinking. I go for Elton playing in the airport, as it is my opinion, this would be the more musical. Enjoy ! Always, MrD.
Describe the "new HiFi sound"?
Recently had a discussion with an audio friend over the word "musical" and what this word means to each of us with regard to sound from different amplifiers and speakers. Some debate too. And, reading this other comment on Agon once in a while...how some equipment has the "new HiFi sound".
ASK:
Can someone describe this, in your words, what is the new HiFi Sound to you? Examples? Or, opposites of the new HiFi sound, what does this sound like?

@decooney I apologize to you. You stated in your post, " relative to amps and speakers ", and I took it somewhere else. My best ! MrD. |
I knew I never should have posted to this ridiculous thread ( sorry to the op ). Commenting on my use of Elton John (for keeping it simple, as everyone should know him ), makes me realize the few ignorant folks here, have no clue as to my point of musical. If you do not think Elton a good piano player, I am so very sorry for those of you who commented. I could have stated Mike Garson, Erroll Garner, or even Count Basie, but again, I wanted to keep it simple. The round and round and round some go through with constant equipment change, shows me a few here, know nothing about music, music theory, and especially, what they are looking for, in a music system. BTW, I do believe Elton a very accomplished piano player, as I do Billy Joel. Continue on my peers, and as always, Enjoy ! MrD. And, if you want to continue your banter....I can take it ! There are always a few.........sad indeed. |
