That was very interesting romy. The SPU sound for me was always "woody", which isn't far from brown I guess, and ¨noble¨strikes me as well in the description (it really hits its stride on chamber orchestra or vocal recital for me).  Shelter colo...

This kind of freakish subject and the title of this thread is most likely is very misleading. Commonly the term “last something” is used as “best of the best” after which there is nothing else to explore. This definition grotesquely stink with heavy ...
