    On Aventine some of it is recorded with her voice in three places - central and simultaneously strong left and right.

    Could be that. Speakers are very sensitive. More so than i originally thought and i now think they must be above 100db.. a different amp may handle this better of course

    Yes, some of her vocals are at 11 o'clock with the backing musicians at 1 o'clock. Excellent recording and pressing. A top album but it isn't AC/DC.

    Speaker sensitivity wont be the issue - the only thing that will effect is the position of the volume control.

    Finally giving mine a spin today after arriving home yesterday and knackered.

    Hadn't put the system back together after the MiBO and swapped my other cables in at the same time. Pleased to say the pressing and production as well as the music itself is simply stunning.
    One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

    I bought Citizen of Glass as a high res download from Qobuz. I like it, but for me it lacks the edge and attack that Aventine had. I think Aventine is something special, and Citizen of Glass isn't essential listening in the way that Aventine is.

    Err, I Think I would put them the other way round Rob. Just shows how music is experienced differently by the individual

    That's true, but you realise of course that I am right.
