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  !.....

You like valves and vinyl. Hence, ****-poor sound is your
*benchmark*.......... :-)
Yep, certainly is - my *benchmark* is CD. I would *never* buy an LP if the
corresponding CD was *better*...!! :-)
(Guess what?? ;-)

You may be interested to know that the FM signal on my car radio disappears
(mostly, not *always*) when I pull off the main drag down the bottom of the
road from here!!??

Anyone remember that Ravi Shanker concert some many years ago with the
stacks of QUAD ESL 63's?...
Nerd alert! Not stacked, but lined up in a row behind him.... :-)
