You've bought a SPU?????
Yes, dear boy - haven't you noticed? I swapped my 103SA for one

And it sounds so musically addictive, it's untrue!

You can question my judgement all you like, but I still think you should get very friendly with people in the recording industry and try to visit a session or two to understand where I'm trying to come from on this.
No doubt that would be intriguing... Perhaps you could introduce me to a few people?

It certainly wouldn't change my perspective on my system or the type of equipment I use, though.

I'm sure Anthony TD, who designed my valve amp as part of a pair for a studio for monitoring purposes (and who deals with people in studios all the time) would have a good handle though on where you're coming from

It doesn't mean you'll ditch your amps and speakers, but it may bring about a source re-appraisal perhaps..
Why should it, exactly? With some of the crap recordings made in studios these days, in most cases the sound produced is hardly a benchmark I'd aspire to!

Marco.
