That is go to concerts and listen to my hi tech equipment. Here is a point Ed Hall seems to have missed - The consistency of the listening environment. I can't afford the time ( or the money ) to see the entire season of the Phila. Orchestra. When I go I don't know where I'll be sitting. ( I do realize that in a well designed theater the acoustics should be good everywhere.) Even if I could get the same seat everytime other factors can influence the sound. e.g. the size and shape of the other 20,000 people in the room. When I listen at home there are more things that remain constant. I'll sit in the same chair ( almost always with a different book ) and the surroundings remain relatively stable. I can appreciate both and given that I can't see a live performance everyday, be it the Phila Orchestra, the London Philharmonic or the Oslo What's its name, I take the most faithful reproduction I can find. Now a question. Does anyone have any experience with the dbx 3bx? I've got some money burning a hole in my pocket and want to patronize my local dealer.
