Maybe you should rethink your music taste then.

There's a lot to discover beyond the mainstream charts... And of course modern production methods help small bands or solo artists, the same goes for the equipment required for live performances.
Likewise, with a modern surround receiver, for example from Denon/Marantz, you can now get a sound that was unthinkable a decade ago thanks to room measurement and spatial audio (regardless of the budget).
Of course I would like to have the Dirac ART update for my Denon AVR as soon as possible.
But who knows. Denon/Marantz obviously don't fit into Masimo's portfolio, so things can't really get any worse. Given the current market share, I can't believe that it will end completely.
