I'm not one (yet) but like most of us who like listening to music I surely aspire to get decent configuration some day without blowing a big hole in my wallet. :)
Btw I own sennheisers too -- they're pretty good sounding. You can always argue hi-end stuff is for show-off and yes it is a lot of times. But at the same time you can't deny that a bmw drives much better than other cars and there is some intrinsic value in it's engineering beyond the snob-factor. There area lot of audiophile forums that caution people to steer away from over-priced Bose systems. You can get much more 'sound for your buck' with other systems. They're good sounding systems but not really what their marketing claims as 'best-in-class'. A few posts I've read in the past, though I don't want to turn this into a Bose-bashing thread: http://www.hometheaterblog.com/hometheater/2006/03/what-about-bose-part-\ 1/ http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/10431/Why+Bose+Sucks/ http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-3266.html I was hoping to learn from people who had spent the time to research / setup entry-level hi-end audio hardware. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Roshan <c.pix...@...> wrote: > > > > > Are you the kind that listens to your music on audiophile-grade equipment.
