    Are audiophiles unmusical?

    I really enjoy my music on a modest system and don't enjoy it any more on bigger ones. Really. (Wiim Mini-Modi3-Rotel RC995-RotelRB981-B&W 685 S2 and very temperamental AE Neo Sub). Bought most used total spend about 16K

    Your Biggest Jaw Dropping experience in Audio

    Speaking of PC speakers, when I got a flat-screen TV in my bedroom and realised how bad the built-in sound was, while saving up for a sound bar and sub, I purchased, for R220 , a Creative Labs PC speaker set (AS120), that I hung next to the Tv, tiny sub on the floor. I watched a YouTube video of...
