Today, there are numerous ways to enjoy music in your home. A whole-home audio system can deliver room-filling, high-performance music throughout your home via in-ceiling speakers. A Dolby Atmos optimized surround sound system provides an immersive 3D sound field in your media room or home theater. And wireless Bluetooth speakers let you travel from room to room and into your outdoor spaces. 

So, where does a 2-channel audio system fit in, and what does it offer homes in Boston, MA, and the surrounding areas?

If you grew up in the digital streaming era, mentioning this system may draw a blank stare. If you’re a long-time audiophile, you already know the answer. If you’re wondering what an audiophile is, stay tuned. 

When properly calibrated and dialed in, many high quality AV receiver brands can deliver the envelopment and excitement of home theater surround sound.  But none of them make us want to listen to music the way a great stereo system can.  2-channel audio represents the more exacting challenge for music listening...it's up to the 2 speakers to create the soundstage image, with all the detail and dynamics present in the recording, without the potentially distracting influence of additional speakers' sound coming from multiple locations.
