It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

"Change of perspective" maybe not right words

the string section suddenly seems very up-close and harsh, with a loss of resonance.

I've noticed that--so far--BIS and Chandos don't always do their strings proud, (though I couldn't be more thrilled with Pentatone and Channel in that respect).

OT, but I've been experimenting with speaker placement to tame/uncongest massed, forte strings on some recordings at certain points, including putting speakers back downstairs where both they and listening chair have about 5 feet space behind them, but to no avail.

In the end, some recordings just sound bad (at points) in either room. Moving to digital and changing listening rooms at the same time made it hard to nail down the problem, if any.

I stumbled across a free download at Linn: VW's Tallis Fantasia, (hidden at the end of Britten's Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings). Stunning, velvety sound throughout. Stereo's staying put upstairs.
