I'm not sure I actually WANT "hi-fi" for speech. Unlike music, I have
no desire to luxuriate in the sound. When I start hearing the studio
sound, the speaker's mic technique etc. it gets in the way of the
content. Radio 3 might get switched to my good speakers. Radio 4
communicates best on my crappy little bedside DAB or the car radio.


Each to their own. Kitty says much the same about music.
