I'm no guru or audiophile but I do have something to say.
People have tastes. Varied tastes. What food may seem bland to one, is intricate, detailed, subtle and tasteful to many. Take the examples of fine French cooking.
What may seem smelly and distasteful to some is fine food to many. Take the example of good Malak, Chinese and Japanese cooking.
What may seem inedible, unhealthy, oily and too spicy to many will seem like fine Indian cooking to some.
Audio is a taste too. What may seem dull and boring to many is sweet music to some.
I do know the meaning of true hi-fi. And I do understand that we need to get as close as possible to the source of the music. I know that what seems normal to me may seem bright to navin and he may even tone down the treble to a point where it will sound muffled to someone. Me, I do not enjoy excessive treble but i like my sound to be marginally forward.
It's a question of taste. If you like clubbing and like house music, hindi music - it does not make you any better or worse than someone who prefers opera and beethoven. If you visit a nightclub, it has an electrified energy. The music is loud and boom boom boom chik chik chik.
They're not aiming at being audiophiles in a club, they're aiming on having fun.
The same reason why a Ferrari will excite someone. Do you really need that loud exhaust note and flamboyant power? Wouldn't you be better off in a Bentley?
So which is a better car then? Ferrari or Bentley? I know that they have cars in similar price segments. Who can answer this question?
I respect people that enjoy their dose of boom chik. If that's the dose that they want, to brighten up a dull day and to electrify their senses on their way to work - more power to them.
Be a hero (if that's your thing), be flamboyant (If that's your thing too) but enjoy life. Better to do what you enjoy and listen to the music, rather than pretend to be a pseudo-audiophile. Do not be ashamed of listening to Prodigy, Scooter, Bob Sinclair, Skazi and Himmesh Reshammiya.
I knew a friend that used to love Ozzy. And he started listening to Kenny Bloody Rogers because that sounded better on his pseudiophile speakers. Talk about changing the horse to fit the horseshoe.
Remember it's all about the music. Not about these silly speakers, woofer tweeter and stupid electronics. It's the music that will make you happy, bring a smile on your face and make your life worth living. Not the 12" woofer.
Hey I coined a new word. PSEUDIOPHILE!!!! Not to be confused with audiophile or paedophile. And no offense meant to anyone
