This is going to sound like I'm being a troll, but this is not the case...

Go listen to live music. This is important for a true reference.

I mean really, how can you look at me and say, I know how this is supposed to sound if you've never truly heard it live? Tell me what a snare is supposed to sound like. What does a 400 person choir sound like across a sound stage? How does Eric Clapton sound in concert? What guitars did he use?

Get my point?

You're evaluating sound quality on a group of characteristics. I sit writing this as I'll be leaving for the biggest IASCA soundoff in years on the West Coast after work tonight...

Here's a good test for you:

On Michael Jackson's extended cut of Black or White, at the beginning, when the dad pounds on the door, does it sound like the door is being pounded right in front of you on the dash? Is it a full sound? Is the attck and decay of the door accurate? Does it sound like someone has actually placed a door on the hood of your Yaris and is trying to pound it down?

I really wish you could spend a few minutes in my Yaris. You'd hear what it is supposed to sound like.
