RE: To clarify

Ok, since we appear to be taking this further, let us take it further.

I wore plugs early on, for the simple reason that the guy I was most often paired up with liked guitar sounds that were painful for me. Last time I was tested, my hearing was age-normal. I did have a very slight notch from someone firing a pistol too close.

As to monitors, well those varied considerably. To characterize them all with one sweep tells me a bit about your experience, or lack thereof.

Since musicians are not qualified listeners to you, who would be? Oh, I know, the people who agree with you. Geez, I bet you are fun at parties.

Blather? You malodorous bolus of hog phlegm ... there, you like personal insults coming your way? Tisk Tisk.

Actually, the live event recordings allowed me to move freely from the control room (never sealed) to the stage, to the audience, at will, even within the space of a single piece. And the performances were exclusively acoustic (with the sole addition of amplified guitar, and a bit of house sound). So who is blathering now? And don't you find it ironic that I LIKE the Avalon monitors? That fact seems to be eluding those who are attacking me.

I never said the Avalons were not dynamic ... in the many applications I have heard them in, sans the two way monitors, which I like, they were dry, etched and amusical. Very detailed? Absolutely. Musically satisfying, not for me, they aren't.

The liquidity that characterizes the best transducers was simply not there.

You want to claim that in some idealized application they do better? I am sure you are correct ... one of the posters spoke to journey of years trying to achieve just that result. I have no interest in devoting years to get something to sound good.

Why is it that you grow so antagonistic at a personal level, simply because I do not share your personal assessment of a speaker?

At any rate, I stand by my observation.

The Good Doctor
