it seems to me that all artists make either implicit or explicit demands
about how their music be received. the simple fact that they release music
implies a manner in which it must be received, ie: if it's on CD, you must
have a CD player etc.

the question of how far this goes is just a matter of taste.. but keep in
mind that 95% of the techno music out there doesn't sound good unless it's
on a huge club soundsystem, just like 95% of jazz music won't sound good
with a subwoofer set to 10! ;)
