Live, is the local high school band at the friday night football game. out of time and out of tune maybe, but no, NO, system in existence can sound like it. Thats LIVE!
My audiophile take on the symphony last night.
65 piece Santa Cruz Symphony at the Civic Auditorium.
My wife said it wasn't loud enough and I agreed. The highs were rolled off and there wasn't an expansive soundstage. I couldn't "hear behind the instruments" like I can at home on the hifi. The soloist sounded small and far away and the bass drum lacked definition.
In spite of all that we were listening to a live and real performance. Our seats were the highest price available.
This was very interesting, intriguing and food for thought audio-wise. Also great people watching.
