It's really interesting. The more 'balanced' my system sounds, the more time my wife and 2-year-old kid tend to spend listening to music with me.

This is especially the case when the system sounds to me a bit 'dull', as opposed to 'ultra-detailed'/'resolving'. I wonder if they pick up HF anomalies a lot better than me...

Whatever... I tend to focus most of my resources on getting the 100-300Hz region right nowadays - I really think this is where so much of the 'emotion' in music sits. And why I just can't listen to ported speakers/subs anymore.

I'm not sure anyone wants me company to play the same song ten times (or more)
Ok, maybe listening to a nice album is more appropriate. My "Girl" likes the Brandenburg Concerts from Bach (phillips recording) a lot and once we listened to the whole 2 CDs twice a day. If I have nice songs I can show them to her. Like one track from "liszt - la campanella" played by yundi lee. She made my hifi system a very nice compliment after I showed her the track. She said her "brain" cannot associate the sound of the piano in the room with my speaker at all Happy that was nice.

Maybe we deviate from the real subject a little, but the greatest compliment I receive once in a while is from people who really don't care about audio, but of coure do know about real life a bit. So I recall my mother in law entering the room once, expressing "but it sounds so real !".
Or the occasion a 12 year old girl from my son's school (she practicing some horn instrument) being in the room while I started playback without her knowing, and she wandering around where actually this sax was playing (looking totally confused).

Those could be more valueable measures than someone with knowledge telling me he never heard something like it before. I mean, that looks more subjective to me than the above little stories.

And let's be honest ... when we turn up the volume, what are we the most afraid of ?
Yes, that you like the music, but because it doesn't sound 100% it has to be turned down again. By someone else. yes

This exactly was the case. She ist not interested in the technical stuff at all. She just experienced what the little girl experienced with the "Sax". Because of that I took it as a big compliment (and I admired her well expressed thoughts). I show her the music because of the music itself. I normal don't "abuse" her for listening tests. She is abosuely not ineterested in that. But she likes to listen to my stereo Happy

As we have moved onto cars check this out - I used to race this (well part of it - its a long story) many years ago. It is great fun to drive and surprises the heck out BMW and GTi drivers with its full race 1100 engine. Obviously it was sprayed blue to match NOS1.

Russ, that is quite some car. Absolutely beautiful. I think the 246 is one of the best looking cars ever made...

When I was looking around for a 'weekend' car, I wanted a classic car but, not being a spanner-head, needed something that would be easy to maintain. Now it could be argued that a 7-year old NSX is not a true classic, but I believe it will be in time. And of course, it's built like a tank and should really never go wrong, provided it's well maintained. That's the theory anyway.

If I had £150K spare, I'd buy the 246 you posted (on sale in the UK now).

The car is realy beautifull (also the house)!

But if I had 20k€,I would buy this:
http://www.avantgarde-acoustic.de/duo-omega-hornlautsprecher-design-de.html?produkt=duoo&s=nuss-glanz&f=dblau
and maybe not with blue horns... Happy

There are for sure better speakers for the money but I like the looks VERY much. And what is more important, 10 Years ago I played in a Band with a Guy working at Avantgarde Acoustics. He explained me the meaning of "high end".  And then I had my first true audiophile experience with a Trio (with Sony SCD1 and some 7W transistor amp). I never will forget how stunned I was listening to my CD's over this Monster. My own system was Visaton Vox 252  and a modified Pioneer PD-S 507 with some DIY Amp. Man was I disappointed as I got home that day....Since that day I try to build a system sounding like the Trio (a Duo omega would be good enough). I guess the SCD1 is beaten by my Transport+DAC but the rest....

Indeed !

If I ever win the lottery , both the 246GT(S) and the car below, would be the first of my long held aspirations to own.

Now it could be argued that a 7-year old NSX is not a true classic, but I believe it will be in time.

You need have no fear of the NSX not becoming a classic in it's own right also. Some mighty fine engineering went into its development, and Honda should be justifiably proud of their achievements .... a reliable and ergonomic supercar hey ... who would have thought Happy

I'm sure you have a grin from ear to ear when you take it out on that one fine Sunday morning that England serves up now and then Wink Going for a fang around Isle of Man must be idyllic.

If I had the 20k, it wouldn't be a problem going to 25k. But then I definitely would need a room extension for the Trio. Or I must place a hammock between the speakers instead of having a bed Happy

Hey Paul, WTF !? How much better could your system get for God's sake?

Is this a tweak or an actual component? The only component I can imagine that would 'obviously' improve your system would be a Sauermann amp. Barring something so dramatic, you must be upgrading your crossovers. Has that Peter Qvortrup been up to his sales tricks again?
