Nick,>>>...The problem lies in presenting the cause of the flabbiness. We all know how important the room is and how difficult show conditions can be. My comment was directed at making a diagnosis.<<<
100% agreed, though who is to REALLY know why said bass was "flabby". Maybe the CD player, maybe the cables, maybe a bad room, etc etc etc. As i stated in my show "Final Feelings" at http://www.enjoythemusic.com/hifi2002/ it is, IMHO, incorrect to comment on the sound at shows as a professional reviewer. If this was my first or fifth show, maybe i would be allowed to make such an immature mistake, though after attending 35+ shows there are things that are painfully obvious. Have heard great gear sound lousy more than i care to mention. Was it the room? The cables? The amplifier? The tubes used in the unit being defective? !?????????! Your guess is as good as mine. Of course great praise from sound at a show makes for wonderful tag lines in a manufacture's advertisement. Thanks, but no thanks.
Enjoy the Music,
