I think it's important to look at the other side though.Suppose a vendor plays some music where the recording is not ideal. Then, a person who may have never heard the equipment (plus, there's so many that they just have much time to evaluate the sound) comes in the room and thinks, well that doesn't sound so good.That's just the nature of the beast.
I wanna dance to "heavy metal and other Satanic music styles". Still OK by you?
That's where the vendor would need to do a bit of weeding. The point of polling is not to play everyone's individual choices, but to gain some insight regarding what people would like to hear, then make "appropriate" selections with the goal being to, at the very least, have a good variety of music (of appropriate quality) on display.......and use the old standard stuff (which people may still wish to hear or expect to hear) as filler, rather than the meat of the presentation. This would certainly make shows a little more interesting. Imagine if all vendors played a wide mix of music. Wouldn't that be great?!
No.
If they combined that with a way for visitors to select that would be pretty awesome. An iPad/tablet bolted to the wall, say. (Just handing one over seems like a good way to lose it.)
In regard to the actual title of this thread - why?Even if someone exists whose sole music diet is audiopphile releases, so what? I may take pity on that person, but I'm not going to deny, or eliminate his/her preferences.
How about we rebel against all the overprocessed pop/pap that's made?
Or maybe all of the really awful country music - I mean c'mon, how may horses / dogs have to die, girlfriends done wrong, or tributes to pick up trucks do we need?
I dunno, the fact is that different people like different music, there seems to be an assumption here that because "you" like something then other people will too...I mean, how is a vendor supposed to know what any particular person walking into their room likes? They may as well play it safe. If people want to play their own music, then fine, but I don't see how vendors can be lambasted for not doing it in advance.
Racist...
but unfortunately, i cant tell you how many "audiophile" listening sessions and gatherings have been ruined because of an odd insistence on repeatedly playing something by Diana Krall. i guess if you really, really like heavy breathing, but she looks like a dude to me, but what do i know?
I usually think that if a system can create a realistic piano (all 88 keys) and female vocals, it can do most anything. To paraphrase AJ, what is an electric guitar supposed to sound like????? How can you evaluate a system based on that?
Maybe so...but electric guitar has a huge range of sounds a speaker has to produce, as any player will tell you. You have an wide variety of guitars, Fender, Gibson, Taylor, PRS, Gretsch , Rickenbacker, Godin etc. not even getting into the individual setups of these instruments. Played through different amps...Tubed Vox ac30 and Marshall DSL 40 , just two I happen to like of many choices. Will produce a pallet of tones from velvety smooth to ear bleed shredding.I find this variety very useful in voicing a good speaker. Oh don't forget male voice, especially the lower registers.
Top 40, Heavy Metal, HipHip, Rap, drugs, alcohol etc are brainwashed to keep the herd scums under control, this is allowed for the rabble think that are living in a free country.
