Post Subject: Beethoven, Elevator Music? Use your ImaginationPosted by Doron on: 8/19/2009

I think you got spoiled with a lifelike sound reproducing music system (lifelike to your ears and in your brain - some systems do approach that level but than something else is lost like the festivity of getting dressed and going to a concert of your favorite composer/piece, the excitement and the charged atmosphere in the hall, etc. etc.)
Can you enjoy music listening to your car stereo? In a shopping mall (Jazz piece played in Macy's)? In a Train Station like the following:

Yes I agree it is far from being ideal BUT it should not be a show stopper from enjoying music.
This is why I believe one should practice this hobby of audio perfectionism mildly without obsessing about it to the extent that is if it is not 100% lifelike (problematic term anyways) he refuses to listen and enjoy it.

We cannot always eat caviar (and thankfully so). Sometimes a Pizza or an Italian Panino can and should be enjoyable too and it just makes us appreciate the caviar when we do get to eat it.

Just my personal opinion.
