Yeah, But How Do I Measure...

...the amount of dust that clings to the strings? The red violin Guarneri Memento looks like it belongs in a museum. And, with the tilt-back, and tall stands, the GM takes up lots of space. If you're not ready for this type of aesthetic, there are many other speakers to choose from.

I heard the GM with Classe' gear, and the sound was first rate. The somewhat slow loading time of the CD player kinda pissed us off, but that's not the GM's fault. Once the music started, it was clear that the GM leaves the old Guarneri Homage in the dust. The GM is just so much more lively and sure-footed, while at the same time preserving texture, believability, poise, and cohesion. Playing some Cover Girls had the effect of bringing us back to those high school dances. We forgot that this is 2007, and just started spinnin' round and round. And when "Promise Me" came on, my friend held out his hand as if he had a lighter, and damn well nearly tipped over. I think he imagined that he was holding on to a classmate, experienced that "Hey, she's better than I thought" surprise, and was trying desperately to cling to the moment.

How do you measure that magic? How do you measure how hard it is to clean this bugger? How do you measure the reaction of your wife when she comes in, and states matter-of-factly, "That thing is ugly?" For that matter, what measurement did we go by, when deciding whom to marry?
