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!!

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)?

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

Yes they were Bose last year .. There only used to tell you to put your
phones off or on silent;!"..
