Is it me or is that taking things just a touch too far?!

Personally, I'm finding Chris G's reviews rather interesting.

I'm a bit surprised by some of the reactions. As a group, I'd have thought that most of us share the "You spent how much on a stereo?" or "What the heck are those?" to big speakers or acoustical treatments. It seems odd that some of us would be reacting analogously to Chris's and others' desire for high quality audio in a car environment.

Plenty of us spend more time in the car than we would choose. It doesn't seem odd to want decent fidelity in the car's audio system.

I do, of course, share the concerns with distracted driving. It's common here to see things like texting while driving, even though illegal. I look forward to self-driving cars, hoping they are widely adopted by folks who'd rather be doing something other than driving.


Cheers, Ian
