A lot of people were giving him a hard time. I feel like they are his speakers. He should be able to listen to what he wants on them. I see a lot of people leave rude comments on youtube stereo videos.
For example,
If I was Magnepan I would do everything in my power to have this video removed.

I'm a former Maggie owner and I listened to all kinds of music on them and enjoyed all of it. Frankly, I don't give a flip about what anyone else thinks about what music I play on my speakers.
Rap music is frowned on by audiophiles, regardless of the speaker. The only recordings audiophiles like are technically excellent but artistically dull.

on the suggested videos this one came up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cbJk...eature=related that is Audiophiles type of music which sounds dull and boring to me. I say listen to what you want when you want and enjoy the hell out of it.

I personally don't feel my favorite bands (Rush and Pink Floyd) are artistically dull, and each released a new DVD-A or SACD within the past year. I'm glad I'm not an audiophile
Sometimes I can't help but to notice the first two ("most popular") comments.
That kills me almost always. Usually it's just some idiot posting the funniest line in the vid, which is a complete spoiler, and then a heap of other idiots thumbing it up so it gets shoved at the top.
Just browsing the SACD selection at Amazon makes me sleepy. I really hate the snobbish prejudice that the only good music is music for old folks. Really gives me the impression that a lot of these self-described audiophiles are a bunch of pretentious twats.

Listening to rap on any kind of speakers is frowned upon
But yah, your average "audiophile" likes to brag about $100 cables and listens to Jazz through a pair of Sennheiser HD600 or AKG K701 *yawn* and don't think of anything with actual bass impact, you are "coloring" the sound!
You don't usually hear rap and Magnepan in the same sentence. My main speakers are Mag type speakers (hybrid ribbons.) I like all kinds of music but rap is not one of them. I do like some music that has a lot of bass to it, that's where my subs come into play.

Hey, thanks for the Jack Johnson! That song moves me, and I'm just sitting at work listening on headphones. I can't wait to get that cranking on my CDM-9NTs and LFM-1EX.

I would think that the people here that enjoy their audio/video would try and avoid blanket statements about their peers? Everyone is an individual, we ALL have different tastes/preferences.
