Have you felt the concert in your chest? Have you experienced music which startled you? Do you feel as though the concert is with you, in the room? Have you been truly astonished by your loudspeakers, as you have by the symphony?

Fundamentally, the answer is no. The reason for the distinction between live and your living room, has little to do with watts, or the volume button, and even less to do with the lights on the front of your receiver... Rather, being astonished by your music relies largely on the selection of the right loudspeaker, not the most obscure.

Does your home have sound half as lively as your automobile? Consider this, virtually all loudspeakers don't move us. Most of what we have come to accept are lifeless replicas of "live". A speaker should be elegant, when it whispers to us, and authoratative when it unleashes the creshendo. A square box holds on to many of the real sounds of your music, changing the sound of a cello, into a flat note regardless of the volume. Before you hear it, 'The note' is transformed by voltage, Delay, circuitry, and a box, but Your ear isn't fooled, Our Mind fills in the nuance and the passages to maintain the myth of a great concert. Are you satisfied?
