What is the coolest HiFi you ever actually listened to?
There is some fascination with the exotic. And a well-tuned system in a well designed listening are with signal that supports it will sound ethereal if nothing else.
Most of us, however, listen in venues that include 'other things' - such as kits, cats, sacks and wives, dogs, grand kids and more. Systems that can perform and transport under those conditions are "Way Cool".
I keep big Maggies, AR and, recently, a pair of Dynaco A35s. An interesting study in contrasts - as well as some pretty remarkable sound.
