I watched this "Ask Paul" video this afternoon:
The description states "Because high end audio systems are so revealing, poorly recorded media like some classic rock suffer."
His suggestion is to use a "middle of the road" high end system for casual listening around the house in addition to a high end system (in a dedicated room).
I'm not sure everyone would agree with his premise, but regardless i often wonder how many people here who have high-end audio systems in dedicated rooms also have a more modest system in their living rooms, and if so, how often do they listen to it, what equipment did they choose and how satisfied are they ? What is it that they enjoy about this second system?
Perhaps some who do not have a dedicated room and have their "toys" in the living room also use a second set of speakers for casual listening?
