Since all of the music I listen to is performed live through mics, mixers, amps, speakers and all sorts of processing, how do I try to reference a home system to a live system? Quite often my system sounds better than the live concerts that I attend. How can you access soundstage, musician placement and such when all of the performance is played through two sets of speakers, one on each side of the stage? The music you are listening to is recorded through solid state equipment, but now sounds better played back through tube equipment.

Stereophile did a write up on the Infiniti Bose Studio on Wheels. I have a few questions for Wes Phillips who listened to the system.

1.It sounds like the Bose engineer John Feng is an audiophile,on some other forum he mentioned owning Aerial Acoustics speakers,did he come across as an audiophile? (How many more closet audiophiles work for Bose...hmmm)

2.How did the sound system compare to say the Mark Levenson in Lexus(yes I know its the same speakers as HarmonKardon's other systems)or Audi's B&O system?

3.Wes,how would you rate the system overall?

Well I just recently added a few absorption panels from ATS Acoustics (3) 2'x2'x4" & (1) 2'x4'x4". The build quality is outstanding & their fabric choices are pretty extensive. These new panels combined with my GIK monster bass trap (1) 2'x4'6" & the Echo Busters corner traps (2ea) have really put a smile on my face. It's so hard to believe what actually happens. The music just takes on a whole new presence, the bass is just so damn tight now I can hardly believe it. My friends actually checked to see if my SVS sub was on. They couldn't believe it either.
