diki, i don't understand why you feel I am trying to jam my opinion down anyone's throat..because clearly i am not..but since that is what you always try to do, then it must seem that when anyone says anything that does not meet YOUR opinion, a snide long-winded reply is called for, a cannonade, a broadside,etc. and your opinion can jump from one side of a fence to the other depending on the target that angers you on any particular day. weren't you the guy who has been browbeating everyone about how they should spend more time on their performance and not worry so much about the latest equipment? apparently you don't appreciate it when i hold somewhat the SAME position as you, (if not as dogmatically,) so now you are all for the absolutely essential benefits of stereo p.a.'s. Go back to what i wrote that set you off so..all i was saying was agreeing with you about making the strict "arranger-play"more realistic, and then agreeing with you that if you have no great need fro that effect, the quality of your performance is much more important, and any stereo effect a minor benefit in comparison. If you are going to attack me when I AGREE with you, what are you going to do, have APOPLEXY if i disagree??
