![]() And who's to say that's it's "wrong" to build a system around your favorite Louis Armstrong or Lightnin' Hopkins recordings? I "get" it but I don't listen that way so I don't have such a system. But typically such a system only works well with certain recordings and certain musical genres. These systems are NOT accurately reproducing the SOUND of the recording yet they somehow are able to produce the MUSIC in an exemplary way. This seems to work with certain recordings of small combo acoustic jazz, blues, vocal, singer-songwriter and sometimes even small classical ensembles like string quartets or horn choirs. I have heard some setups with amplifiers that measure really badly, with speakers that are nowhere near what a well-designed speaker should be, and yet with certain recordings of certain music the system produces what sounds very much like a live performance. I think this is what is behind the SET craze, and partly what motivates tube amp folk. MANY "audiophile" products are not linear and are used in certain combinations to provide a "certain sound" that the owner-listener enjoys. ![]()
