    Default hi

    hi all -

    I have been a member for a while now have not posted any messages. My family are professional classical musicians so I listen to live music every night and often go to live concerts etc. I use my hifi system for enjoyment as well as for my children to analyse performances of outstanding musicians. I have mixed and match many systems together in the past but currently I am using a pair of 300b audion silver knight monoblocs, Wilson benesch act 2 and wadia cd. I don't really take hifi reviews seriously and prefer to judge a music system based on its tonal and sound stage realism.

    Hope it makes sense.

    kind regards

    Philip

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    I totally agree with your point of view. I think many of us here do.

    As you have actually been a member for a while, I expect you know where everything is, so just get involved and chat with members.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.

    Hi Philip, welcome to the forum.

    I agree that subjective hi-fi reviews are for entertainment purposes only. Some reviewers get that, others don't.

    Welcome to AoS Philip,

    Agree with you re. equipment reviews: they are useful but in no way definitive. The same holds for the opinions of other music lovers. Everyone puts together a system that suits their ears, and their ears alone.
