does a stereo system sound like live music ?

i believe that a stereo system recreates about 10 % of what a live orchestra sounds like.

therefore, i also believe that a $350 Brookstone personal stereo based on the nxt technology sounds closer to most stereo systems, at any cost, than most stereo systems do when reproducing the sound of an orchestra.

I enjoy music on whatever equipment whether it be a walkman, car stereo, dvd player through the tv! Right now as I type I am listening to music through a cheap Creative pc speakers set up. Very enjoyable. But when the big system gets turned on....Bliss.
I do enjoy my 10%.
Ps Mrtennis, out of interest how do you get to a figure of 10%?

You could be correct with the 10%, I would say judging by some of the Orchestral music I have heard live 10% maybe a little on the conservative side especially with the likes Elgars 'Pomp and Circumstance'.......The Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.
Yes a hi-fi system can't compete with an orchestra.
But then again if you put your ears against my speakers and I turn the wick up, it will sound louder to you than any Orchestra even if you were sitting in the front row !!! lol
