I hate my Altecs

I think some recording engineers are either retarded, deaf, or someone is forcing them to destroy the work they were hired to perform.

The good engineers make a product that carries well to almost any system, but the typical recording is intended for the car radio, a "box" home system or earbud listening, since that's the majority of the market.

A friend that I fixed up with 511 based speakers has been mining his wife's classical music collection. It seems that those recordings are meant for reasonable fidelity systems.
