I seemed to have missed a post somewhere about this. Seems some marshal
stacks were being used for sound reinforcement was this at a classical
gig?.....

Hi Tony,
It's probably my fault. We went to a concert two months ago where, to us,
the sound of a flamenco style guitarist was spoilt by over amplification.
The credits mentioned Marshall amps. After this (Jim?) Marshall was
featured on our local TV, and the mention that people liked the thicker
sound came up. I didn't - it spoilt the clarity of some fantastic
flamenco
playing.
Then last Saturday for a special treat we went to a (pseudo) classical
open-air concert at the Kenwood (Bowl) where the re-inforced sound was
dire.
It must have been bad because it's the first time my partner has ever
noticed poor sound - and that spoilt the "romance" of the evening for her
on
a special birthday.
(and "No", we couldn't see any names on the various stacks of speakers.)




See above: "****-poor sound quality is becoming a modern epidemic...."


Yes on that, I will agree with you!.....
