Playing Talking Heads first LP now (on vinyl), I haven't played this one in a while due to system stridency, and its sounding the best I can remember. The deeper bass on these Lintons is likely helping, quite a punchy sound overall. The LP also sounds quite different to the last time I played it, string instruments sounding a tad odd at first, but I realise that's greater transparency, I'd put that down to the cart, the AT 540ML is quite a bargain methinks.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Emm, listening tonight to some Motown, and these speakers shortcomings are starting to show, tubby, bass heavy sound, either that or they just don't work in my room, next!

that sounds more like it's that Audio Innovations thing you're using.
Is it the same with the Sugden? I'd have thought that would be a reasonable match. Maybe a bit underpowered if you want it loud though.

That might be the case, I'll plug the suggie back in later, it goes plenty loud.

Sometimes, im just not in the mood for hifi listening, I think when I'm in this mood, I get too picky and only hear what my setbup isn't doing well. It's best to just turn off and play through an echo dot or something.

That's the spirit, you can lower your expectations and just relax into the music. We have our Echo Dot streaming through 2nd set up while we sit and eat, it's very listenable.

Motown sound is certainly bassy, but not boomy.
