Why are you here? ...music or equipment

For me, the equipment is pretty much a means to an end. However, with all the debates and unknowns about equipment (e.g., trade-offs in speaker design), it's a lot of fun to research and listen to alternatives. We still know so little about what drives great sound (plus it's so subjective) that the construction of a matched system and acoustic environment almost becomes an art form. It helps to know a lot about electronics and acoustics, but that is not a necessary condition to building a system. So, the art of the music is supreme but the art of a choosing a good system is also a lot of fun.

I love to chase the equipment and tweaks, but at the end of the day when the lights are off and the wine is flowing it's all about the music. So therefor I can honestly say that it is both.

Im in the same boat as the other two posters. But sometimes I wonder.

I'm here for a clue.

I remain,
