“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I'm tony.
I travelled down to Colin Topps place to buy his 57s off him.
He insisted on letting me hear them to make sure I was happy-love them to bits.
Colin made us a brew and buttie and asked if we had 5 minutes to listen to his new eddingdale speakers.
Oh dear....played some tracy chapman on vinyl.
His speakers, I think LDA 30OB mono blocks, bespoke phono stage and pre cant remotely remember what turntable it was.
I was flabbergasted.....best noise ive ever heard from a hi fi.
It has niggled away at me for ages....Colin is in the process of building me a pair of his speakers configured for solid state.
Lifes way too short, I love music so does my son and good lady.
Colin Wonfor has provided me with two lovely amps to marry up to them....chase the dream if you can.

Seriously though as other have said, its a very personal thing, and I have heard systems from both ends of the scale that blew me a way, for diffrent reasons, likewise' I have heard seriously underwhelming ones from both ends too!

I've heard supposedly superb systems at shows and in dealers and also heard very decent systems at other folks homes. But I still breathe a sigh of relief when I put mine on and listen to some music (after a warm up ).
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
By far the best system I have ever heard was at Sonority Design where an awful lot of time, effort and expense was expended on providing THE best acoustic treatment for the demo room and mains supply.
The quality of the kit (about £80K total) just shone through 100%. Coming out afterwards one knew that the experience would never be bettered.
My room is horrible for hifi its way too small and upstairs spikes and slabs are a must, the Missions 752 freedoms are good for this kind of environment as they're mostly front ported but all speakers benefit from having room to breath so I totally agree with having a good space for your equipment to work as it should

My son dropped me off at the physio the other day.
Dropped his yamaha acoustic into a guitar shop to be re stringed then went into LOUD AND CLEAR in Glasgow.
They are a great dealer - no pish or wanky salesman shite.
Theyre listening room is a fully treated stone wall cellar.....anyhow, they let him listen to a top notch moon system!!!
He has crofts a pair of electric beach frugels and a standac seg running off a mac-mark grant and colin wonfor cables.
He is a straight talking no BS - He has 97 percent of the sound in his room.
AOS has done us a turn.
Dont get me started on the 57K B@O orgami things i heard in in a treated room........came home played the same john martyn tune- im pretty chuffed with what i have.
As mentioned its a very personal thing.
That's brilliant having the misses and son into the hifi, my dad got me into hifi and now I'm a bigger fan of it than him, I love hearing about guys making speakers for the most part you know that they'll put their heart and soul into making them as it's more of a passion compared to the mass producing sweat shops out there

Definitely a personal thing I agree, I love my little system even though it doesn't compare to the mega bucks systems I've seen on here it has a very warm and musical character I love and if I want to bring the sound more upfront and involving at the price of warmth I just switch to my cd63 from the 6000
