Well. perhaps if you hear a properly balanced, mid to high powered sys you would change your mind. .

As far as digital, 99% of all recorded sound (speech/instruments, etc) has an anilog origin and no matter what you may think, it does loose something when converted to digital, at least to the knowlegable ear on an accurate sysyem.
Even with "digital" amps, the sound quality they send to speakers can vary from very good to pure crap

You don't care about bass?
That must mean you don't care about 99% of all recorded content. All music contans the full spectrum of frequencys...... including "bass"/ lower frequencys.
I wish you can hear "death metal" on a good balenced sys as that type of progam content can be the most demanding.

BTW... metal with no bass frequencys? You must be kidding!!!
