So, When Do You Know Your System sounds really good?
I make all these changes to my system from day to day or so and usually, with me anyway, I think "ok, well...not sure if it made any difference".
When I notice that it sounds really good (or bad??!) is usually the time when I'm not paying any attention and messing around with something else. I think to myself "damn, that sounds really good!"
I also play different types of music to get a better idea of how my system is performing.
I'm mostly a punk/hard rock type but I like playing some jazz now and then, as an example, because a lot jazz has solid clean sounds and I can evaluate my speakers better. Funk too...:bouncy:
Just wondering....
EDIT: I just have to say that I posted this at 4:26 today and that's a 426 Maxwedge in my avatar, LOL. Weird:dont-know:

,,,you realize that you would rather be at home listing to your JBL speakers.;)
I rarely go out and listen to speakers any more, no point, I can't afford the BIG $$$ new JBLs and lower cost ones don't compare to my vintage ones. I'm not saying that the newer ones don't sound good, I do have some for other rooms in the house. I was a FRYs a few weeks ago, to get new HD for a PC and stopped by the "high end" room.
The room was populated with mostly Polk Audio and few others and one set of JBLs latest tower offerings with dual 8" woofers. Since there was no one else in the room I decided to play around a little. Didn't take me long, the JBL still sounded the best.:bouncy:
