I think the best non-club/PA sound I ever heard was in the cutting room when we got some masters/plates made - can't for the life of me remember where - might have been Abbey road, might have been The Exchange - giving him a DAT of the material, the engineer took us back into the cutting/mastering suite, and just ran through it on little boxes, like NS-10m's or some shit, then after he was satisfied there wasn't anything dangerous, opened up the massive monitors which were literally about 5 feet by 3 by 3, 10's of thousands of dollars' worth - massive, limitless power, every tiny piece of sound perfectly held in space, bass just warping time itself, like stepping into a cathedral - the walls of the studio just seemed like an optical illusion, it was like instantly being at 10000 feet, the soundstage went back forever, over hills and plains and into a distance I'd never heard before, truly a magical thing to behold those meager few hundred (dozen, probably) watts of breathless, unwavering clear power passing into the air like an ancient god summoned from the depths. It's quite stayed with me, that experience.

I got chills reading this.monospaced - It was monstrous, dark, unstoppable power that the sound had moulded like throbbing clear mute clay.mikotondria3
