I get similar freq spec, it is clean and dynamic but a t lot of hard s sounds, it sounds much more brilliant than it measures ? For me b & s is much much varmer ? Nigth and day ;) difference. Must be something else in the production b & g is harder and brigther to me than any other of my 2760 albums it sounds " shouty " can be some use of midrange echo car park concrete echo ? There is much softer echo effects on other records. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
