I was not into the west coast sound or hiked highs, mids or bass. The east coast sound was somehow too slow and muffled. So I guess that my preference was somewhere around Illinois or Indiana
Follow Ups:
Can "Ride the Storm Out" in central IL with a receiver that going to get blown away by the wind.
...Oklahoma City, now the home of the former Altec Factory!Chicago Transformer also made some great iron for tube gear; Heathkit W6 anyone?
Benton Harbor, Michigan was home to Heathkit BTW...
Plus every movie house and stadium in the midwest was full of Altec and James B. Lansing.

Chicago sound? Too specific! How about North Coast sound? That's why I have jazzed up Advents and toned down JBL's. life in the median.
Heh!I think I found the Illinois sound, but it turned out to be from England.
And yes I do like British speakers.
I like that - great observation.
