Default DBT a flawed method for evaluating Hi-Fi ?

The output levek was not high, but eminently suitable for the music to

What was the level?


Hmm. Difficult to say. I went there to listen to an evaluation CD.
(the digital equivalent of a test presing:-) - not to measure SPL.
The listening level was lower than that to which I am normally
accustomed, and the listening position about 3m back from the
centre line.

The cellist actually played a short passage to illustrate a point, and
sat between the two speakers. The recorded and "live demonstration"
levels seemed quite well matched.


What music other than the cello you mention was used?

Shostakovich Op73. Quartet No3 in F major.
