[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 1137159, member: 517"] I'm pretty easy when it comes to gear itself, there's a lot of good stuff out there - many ways to skin a cat. I don't believe in "synergy" as it's typically put forth - I believe in specifying according to needs, proper setup and the room. As for the emotional element, I think that's a matter of course. If you have a system that covers the full auditory range smoothly, cleanly and with articulate bass, those cues that have the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end will be there. The idea that there is some intangible quality that provides emotional engagement I reject, to me that's a mode of thinking pushed by marketers to sell overpriced products that offer no demonstrable benefit.
