True. What I was questioning is whether there is a difference between a
headbanger (the one who only enjoys music that is hitting him straight
in the chest), and your typical audiophile who seeks more sublime
pleasures from the 'silky' highs and 'warm' deeps? We've all seen those
cars driving around while pumping insane bass, making the windows in the
hood rattle. Are the mofos in those cars audiophiles?
