HiFi is what you want it to be , everyone has different priorities and ultimate goals when they buy equipment to listen to music .
I love live music and I go to live music events regularly and my aim when choosing and buying HiFi equipment is to reproduce at home the closest to that live music feeling that I can afford .
I am sure some people would hate the way my system sounds , others might like it , but to me it does a very good impression of the real thing .
I love the power and dynamics and the way I can literaly feel and hear the music , I look forward to listening to music every day and I constantly search for new music to listen to , the whole thing just gives me so much pleasure .
For me HiFi is a means to a musical end and I love HiFi because I love music .
And then there's fishing ..... but that is a different forum
