Waste of money?
The audiophiles are at it again - I use my computer and it's "low-grade computer speakers" to listen to music most of the time, and it sounds fine. The comparison to my stereo is very close, close enough that it doesn't effectively make a difference.
Surely by now we're not still hung up on ekeing out the best possible tiny percentile difference in sonic quality? Do I enjoy Twice Removed any less than Boutin just because I apparantly don't have the hardware to "[discover] the breadth and depth of the whispered nuances, the sudden rock-outs, and the silences that follow" therein? No, actually, I don't. I hear those things fine on the crappy $20 speakers that came with my PC.
