So I just said enough tweaking for the night, dimmed the lights, turned up the volume and put on the Telarc CD of Boston Baroque’s Hallelujah chorus from Handel’s Messiah. That so far may be the most impressive thing I’ve ever heard out of an audio system. Towards the end you can visually see the choir going from right to left in 4 sections, starting with the baritones and ending with the sopranos on the left of the stage. The walls of the room completely disappeared. My hairs stood on end. Seriously. I’m going to bed now.
