I wonder why nobody has come out and said that the Telarc 1812 "stinks". The cannons may be faithfully reproduced, but the orchestra is in the next county. I would much prefer a well miked orchestra and distant cannons with the sounds rolling through the hills. My favorite "recording" was the Rostropovich July 4th concert on PBS a few years back. Of course there wasn't much of it left by the time KOAP got through with it ... Seriously, is there a good MUSICAL recording of the 1812, preferably with the choir? One little mentioned benefit of the Carver 400 is the extended life expectancy of speakers, especially tweeters. I've fried at least three high frequency drivers with a 150 watt receiver, none with the 400. (I did have a close call with the Telarc Star Tracks CD, but only my ears got fried on that one :-) -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX ...!tektronix!reed!omen!caf CIS:70715,131 Omen Technology Inc 17505-V NW Sauvie Island Road Portland OR 97231 Home of Professional-YAM, the most powerful COMM program for the IBM PC Voice: 503-621-3406 Modem: 503-621-3746 (Hit CR's for speed detect) omen Any ACU 1200 1-503-621-3746 se:--se: link ord: Giznoid in:--in: uucp
