[QUOTE="Skylar, post: 1154289, member: 17146"] Nope, I have not listened to thousands of sound systems, but none of the commercial systems I've heard passed the soundstage test. So far, I have not heard a single one! If you know of one, please name it and I'll go and listen to it, or a similar system close to me. The reason I singled out commercial systems is that one should expect a decent soundstage from any commercial HiFi system, because that is the second requirement of HiFi. The first requirement is that it actually makes music that's pleasant to listen to. If it can't do those two things, it shouldn't be called HiFi - then maybe just a music system. Hi Fidelity should mean to reproduce the original recording to a convincing level. If there's no soundstage, I'm not convinced. [/QUOTE]
