I'm a lover of fine, serious music. Classical, opera, film, jazz, choral, folk. I DETEST rock music with a passion! I don't want to be deafened. I want the sound experience to be realistic NOT LOUD. And I feel that most professional installations in recent theaters and shows that I have spent good money to buy tickets, fall flat on their faces as providing this realistic and enjoyable sound experience. I don't know what tables or calculations these designers are using but they leave me COLD, FATIGUED and desperately wanting to leave and ask for my money back. I have spent much money on my hi-fi system. I build and design a lot of my own equipment from scratch and I've been at it since I was seven and I'm now 58. I love ever micro second of a good audio experience. And yes, I recently had my hearing checked and it's fine!Now you can call me a dinosaur, an old foggey, or any appropriate adjective you might conjur up but I believe the current audio philosophy of designing professional installations is heavily flawed. They are deigning basically for ROCK installations. To basically SHAKE THE WALLS. I hope you live to the ripe old age where your hearing is fully intact. But if you stay around such installations then I fear your hearing is gravely in jeopardy. Cordially again. Ray Hughes
