How many of you prefer a good speaker setup to headphones? I have to say that while I love my headphones, I'd rather listen to my speakers for a number of reasons. First of all, I just love the real soundstage you get with a good hi-fi setup. Second of all, sometimes I really get sick of the feeling of headphones on my head. Thirdly, with a regular speaker setup, you can feel the music all over your body (especially bass), as opposed to the music between your ears. Also, you can't really share the music with others. So often, I find myself thinking, "Oh man, I wish (insert name) could here what I'm hearing right now!" All this being said, I spend a lot of time listening to music through my headphones, especially at night when I can't play music very loud, and I enjoy it to the fullest - I recognize headphones special niche in my music listening. How many of you out there also prefer a proper hi-fi to your headphones?
