How's that? well with this release I found it too heavily focused on the left which bothered me, my right ear had nothing to do, but on speakers it all just swirls around and is absolutely amazing..my theory is that headphones are too 'focused' because they're right there on your head. whereas the speakers project out to the room first then your head.....but then again I seem to be the only one with this problem :) > Especially anything dub-heavy with hard panning / echoes / delays > etc. works wonderfully - soundstaging plays off like a movie in your > brain. I totally agree....I'm going to try the Brinkmann release again but it just _really_ bothered me on headphones-which is a first btw. spaul
