Unfortunately, not all of my computer addicted friends have great speakers.
I am fortunate to have some pretty nice audiophile stuff and I also am
fortunate to have many years of experience as a professional orchestral
player. I was not trying to be elitist, but to express sadness when so many
think that what they hear from speakers of any ilk can reproduce the actual
sound of music. I fear that the squeaky little domes attached to most
computers will drive many interested listeners away.
Enjoy your music!
