I never disputed your /individual/ inability to tell the
difference, just your cloudy views on the matter.

Why are these views, "cloudy"? One can either hear the
highs, or not. If one can't hear them, then why would one
spend money to reproduce them faithfully?

OK, just to play this for a little longer... HOW MUCH did
your system cost?

I used to be a musician and there is nothing I love more
than music. But I think people who spend more than $1,500
on a sound system are nuts.


Hmmm.. My "fun" system, in my living room.

Somethings are old, somethings are new...

Pioneer Blu Ray Player: $120
Sherwood 100 wpc stereo receiver $85
Rane 1/3 octave Stereo eq $300
Pair Boston Acoustics CR9 speakers $450
Paradigm 12" Subwoofer $450

Yes, there's a 60" HDTV spliced onto the side of this, but it doesn't count!

I guess that this system is according to you, not nuts.

However it is pretty close to the limit. IME spending more money on
speakers, including subwoofers can be audibly beneficial.
