I've stopped going to 'shows' at our local theatre. They have a 'Bose'

But you can enjoy a performance through speakers in your front room?
Even one originating from imperfect media - cassette , vinyl or CD (in
ascending level of transparency)?


So does the Royal Albert Hall, although I don't know if it's 'Bose'. (Does
it particularly matter if it's 'Bose'?)

When I was last there a few years ago now, I told my other half to close her
eyes and follow the sound which she did - I watched as her head lifted 'till
she was lined up on the ring of speakers in the ceiling!

Which is why I don't really care about 'live' any more and why I laugh when
I see all the 'accuracy' and 'fidelity' arguments!!

Are you old enough to remember the Albert Hall before they started
messing with the acoustics?
