The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound

@frogman 

Please read my very first comment here. If that kind, or any other kind of sound rocks your, or anyone else’s boat that is fine with me. I find my approach far more satisfying and a much better way to reach an audio system’s true potential based on my sonic priorities.

Why should it rock my boat? I agree with your 1st post. Don't know why you didn't understand. My comment was to reinforce your idea. Everyone has different priorities.

**** Music enjoyed in one’s living room (or music room) is, in many ways, actually superior aurally to almost any live performance. ****

This is NOT my quote. 

Easy, artemus_5. No disrespect intended. No, your post did not strike me as agreement, but I am glad that you clarified.  Thanks. 

Re the other quote: simple oversight and corrected.

Regards.

Inmho, striving to achieve the 'same' sound at home like on some live concert (even 'unplugged') is missconception in start, for many reasons.
Stereo reproduction beeing the first and obvious one. (there is no stereo sound in the nature, or 'pin point' imaging)...mono guys could glove, but not for long...
I believe that at home you can reproduce the tone(s) with a great accuracy, but thats about as close or as much you will get to 'copying' the actual event.
Everything else is just us enjoying our own illusions


Just recently there was a nice article about the subject, posted on Audiogon as well.
Hope you dont mind me posting it again

Frog and I are on the same page.
Biggest problem that I see is speakers. Do you want them to be 'neutral' transducers as much as possible or you also consider them 'instruments' as well ? Well, I would probably want to have two pairs of very different speakers.
