Re: Wisconsin GTG discussion
Just chiming in, but from what I've seen, an informal GTG under less than ideal conditions (with exceptional equipment no less) is really only intended to showcase how unrealistically poor something 'great', can sound.
Loudly blaring a mediocre quality source under those conditions only emphasizes that, possibly even causing damage as a result, sadly. It's really only to make something sound as bad as possible, by the sounds of it. The more unnoticeable a piece of equipment is under those conditions is, the better off it is, IMO.
Ironically, subjecting something in this way doesn't seem all that much different from using much cheaper gear for the same purposes. You'd get nearly the same result.
