I know this thread reveals a not unwarranted bias against the “altar-in-the-middle” approach, let alone—heaven forbid!–a giant hard surface screen. But when you have the kind of room correction capability that Legacy does, you worry less about such things. With the Valors, I am hearing things in ordinary 16/44 recordings I had not heard before.
