RE: T.H.E. Show Speaker report, and excess opinionated rants

I agree with most of the above, and I particularly recall Gordon Holt advocating recordings of live, unamplified music for assessing equipment. I have had useful symphonies, lieder, and especially string quartets for the purpose. Not necessarily always the greatest performances of the greatest pieces, but always records or tapes with which I was very familiar so as to quickly hear differences. Comparison of sonic personalities with technical measurements has always been a matter of interest to me.

Content preferences for music- (as opposed to equipment-) listening are matters of taste, not subject to any measurement I know of.
