Misses a point that some of us may want to hear the "sound of the
orchestra in the *concert hall* " in our listening room - or at least
as close to that as we can get. And if - like me - you enjoy going to
classical concerts you may wish to do this. Or at least get as close
to it as you can. Something I'd love, not hate. No-one is demanding
you or anyone else *has* to want the same, though.


Does nobody remember A Song of Reproduction?


Yes, I've had a copy for many years. :-)
