I agree that an amplifier can indeed change one's perception of the music. As I have lived with the ML2 for three years, I think about the music differently. It is difficult to explain. I feel like I am closer to what the performer is doing and...

You may not attach yourself to any audio cult, but you do describe your third way, the Expressivity way, THE RIGHT WAY!.  And you do include the activist audio hobbyists in that group.  The activist group, separate and distinct from the observers in ...

This is an interesting post.  For me, it is not about worshipping naturalness.  It is about understanding it as experienced in my listening room, so that I can recognize what is "unnaturalness" and move forward.  The challenge is that it relies on me...

Well, ML2 was not given to me.  As you know, there are many choices available.  I compared and then chose the ML2.  Yes, I did not design it or create it, but what it does is available to those who identify it and choose to use it.  Is it a safe umbr...

You failed to understand my post.  "This sounds like music" all the way to "this is what the music wants to be" is the same continuum that your propaganda which makes a person more likely to be engaged in anthing starting from "suspension of disbelie...

Romy, now you are having fun.  You hold up your way as the right way:   The way to maximize or guarantee listener engagement from “this sounds like music” to “this is what the music wants to be”.   That reminds me of Louis Kahn describing what a bric...

The creator is the composer.  That is then interpreted and represented by the musicians, and it is recorded.  We then have that recording and must now decide what to do with it.  How do we want to experience that creation that someone else made for u...

One area in which I agree with Romy is that natural sound begins with the Lamm ML2.  David Karmeli and Vladimir Lamm were listening to the ML2 and David heard something magical. He asked Vladimir what it was and he said “that is natural sound”.  At s...

My real learning started when David Karmeli started to teach me about system set up.  After I took that old system as far as I could, I bought a new system from him.  I had thought I knew what dynamics means.  Then I heard 105 to 110 dB horns and SET...
