Originally posted by g2tegls IMO it doesn't make sense to spend money on a good sounding system and then play low quality music on it (mp3s).
your sounds system is only as good as your speakers. if you have a 192Kbps encoded mp3 playing on sub-$100 speakers, you can't tell. if you had the same mp3 playing on $500 components, then maybe ... but you'd have to be a complete audiophile to hear the difference over the wind noise, traffic, and engine hum.
