Fun discussion-Echoing some of the responses here, I don't think I am ready to give up live music. I am lucky enough to have a great system but it still can't match the intimacy and connection between a band playing in a smaller venue and its audience and watching the interaction between the musicians. I go to approximately three jazz shows a month and there is nothing like that magic.... rock that's a different question but I went to two shows this year. McCartney which was great and surprisingly had pretty decent sound even for a 40k person audience and feeling like I was in another county watching the show, and another show where one band's sound mix was horrible and hard to listen to and the main act was pretty good (red rocks). Sound systems are definitely better than they were 40 years ago (except for the Dead who had it nailed)
Anyone else prefer listening to their system more than a concert?
I know I do. It seems like most people on this forum don't feel that way. That's OK. To each his own.
For me, I like being able to control the volume. I like choosing what song I want to hear. I like not being in a crowd. I like hearing the music without any distracting sounds from others. I like the privacy. I like the convenience. I think my system sounds wonderful. I'm a happy camper.
Just my opinion. Not trying to change anyone else's mind.
Enjoy the music! Whichever way pleases you.
