Audio people know how “live” music sounds and what impact it has to listener. Well not all of them know, and a large number of them never visited concert halls and are familiar with music only by the chest pressure that they experienced at pop-clubs but still, most of audio people do familiar in one way or another with live music: would it be quarters during the expensive corporate parties, lounge orchestras at fancy clubs or the acoustic bands at weddings or funeral…. Now the question is: what audio people know about reproduced music and what options they have to educate themselves about what is possible in audio?

I do not think that audio people have any opportunities to learn about possibilities of audio and to educate themselves what would be possible by extreme reproductive means. As the result audio people quite blindly subscribe new marketing campaigns without own ability to understand a scene of own actions and motivations. Truly, even if you a person lives a large urban environment surrounded by a circle of big cities with countless opportunities, then s/he still has very limited chance, if any, to be exposed to a playback that might demonstrate what is possible in audio (let do not even think about a person who lives at middle of I would say Montana or Minnesota)

Really, we all know that a network of dealerships does not demonstrate good sound. There are lots of objective reasons for it but it is a well-known unfortunate fact that no one dealer’s showroom is good enough to educate about the capacity of real audio. The situation is little better with the manufacturer’s showrooms but only very slightly and they all as well do not really push envelops of possibilities, even within the limitation of own products.  The semi-privet listing rooms of industry professionals: manufacturers, editors, reviewers are usually insultingly horrible and although many of them love to expose thier playback results to visitors but you most likely will experience in there very laughable Sound. Ironically the situation is not different with privet parties. There are many circumstances, objective limitations and other conditions that objectively limit privet parties to peruse a possibility threshold of sound reproduction. In addition, the quality of general audio crowd is so primitive that the more the privet person accomplished in audio the less s/he has interest to share the results of his/her achievements with a wide mass of audio hoodlums.

So, where a person who is interested to learn about “Crucial Audio” might learn? I do not think that there are opportunities for that person.

I think that all leads to an interesting conclusion. I would propose a business venture that might be quite successful and surprisingly will serve a pubic interest at the same time. Let parent a hypothetical person who has an interest to make his/her living by means of Audio. Let pretend that s/he has knowledge, skills, expertise and ability to build up, to serves, and to demonstrate a hypothetical envelop-pushing “Crucial” playback at the most evolved levels. Why this person do not build audio-demonstration room somewhere at metropolitan region, use it explicitly to demonstrate to people what is possible in audio and to charge people for the delivering of those experiences?

It would be a best investment for an ordinary audiophile-Moron ™ if s/he schedules listening hour and paying I would say $500 had a chance to see what is possible (I would pay!). This might be really audio-life altering experience and it would be hugely beneficial for all future audio views. Unfortunately those types of “believes expanding rooms of Critical Audio” do not exist and no one even thinks to go to this direction. It is very pity and without this the audio people have no really ability to learn how audio might sound.
