That's me - except I passed it on to someone who was less fussy than me about the audio quality.
Thanks WC, I think you hit the nail on the head. I do not have a FINE ear for music. Growing up i had a little 9 transistor radio that i thought played great music. I have studdied sound systems in my Radio TV classes that i took, I can even make my own Cross-overs. I know the formulas that are needed and all just to get my Woofers Mid Range and tweeters. but i really can not tell that much difference in the quality. there are some people (possiable like you) that can tell one octave over another one. me if it comes out of the speaker it is good. and suprizenly i think there are more like me. any way like i said i was just wandering. But the good thing about my ears and the bad thing about your ears is I DON"T have to spend all of the money to enjoy the music HA HA Talk Later again Thanks Koz and WC

:lol:

Wanna know a secret: my hi-fi speakers (QUAD electrostatic ELS-57s) were purchased nearly forty years ago - and they were second-hand then. They cost a mere UK£150 - the QUAD 33/303 pre-amp/power amp were purchased new for a similar amount - so over the years that has represented a good investment,cost very little average per year and have provided huge enjoyment 8-)
