Nowadays Hi-Fi is more like "exaggerated brilliance" rather than "pursuit for reality" says Helsinki University Department of Electrical and Communication Engineering...

Such a shame that we have spent all our years here at Graham Slee Projects Ltd in the pursuit for reality when exaggerated brilliance is actually what hi-fi is all about.

If any customer is under the mistaken understanding that we are about modern hi-fi, we are not. Ours is the pursuit for reality and stays that way.

For those who have bought or are thinking of buying our products for exaggerated brilliance, so sorry (for you)
That none should be able to park up and enjoy the view without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps

Most of the new CD's (rock, R&B, Pop, and similar) have so much treble energy so as to make it painful to listen too. Besides they are so loud that you can not differentiate the low passages from the high passages.
 
At least things are not as bad in Jazz and Classical, but I am afraid it is coming.
