Interesting, but I'm willing to bet they sound crap on speech. They

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.

Quite agree, radio 4 and the crappy bedside DAB unit fill many of my sad
and lonely waking/semi-waking hours.


That's what you base your opinions about DAB on?
