Self proclaimed audiophiles listening to that same music: for about twenty thousand dollars you can get a basic setup, sure. But to really understand the artist’s intention you need at least a hundred grand
Songs are also mixed and mastered using equipment (headphones or monitors) with the flatest reponse as possible. You don’t need super expensive gear to hear a song the way it was meant to be heard.
