Hi friends. For quite long time now I have been wondering why the sound is better on some recordings, and bad on some.

I have search on recording/studios/recording engenders/monitories/mastering +++.

What I found, and that is an answer to me. Maybe yo you too.

In the 60s, 70s and 80s most recording studios used JBL. From the middle of the 80s they stopped using large format speakers, (4350, 4343, 3433) and used small shit like the LS3. At that time the quality of sound on our records decreased. The worst recordings I have found is mastered on Tanoy.

Bob Ludvik (an excellent sound technician) is one of the few that still demands hearing his mastering on big speakers. (after what I have read).

Anybody else that have opinion if this?
