   That's why setting up sound is as much an art as it is a science...a nice   
   little room for a nice big stereo is easier than a large venue, which takes   
   a lot more ability, but of course the results are more than worth it.

   The more Skill, the more possibility!

   That's a real problem, which requires 1/3rd octave band eq, but using a   
   stereo system can certainly help with definition by producing spatial   
   locations for each sound. If both your ears work, then you hear in   
   stereo...which is why s stereo system is the best way to go!

   It's been played a lot on the radio, it's all Stale as a result but the   
   effect sounds nice.

   Those oversized cabs in a small space make the sound worse, not better!

   For larger setups, before such affordable stereo power amps as those from   
   Behringer came along, my approach to stereo would be to use two mono amps.   
   Of course, nowadays, there are powered speakers to do the same thing.

   Never heard of it, or windsor either, but when I looked it up, it said it's   
   Canadian whiskey, and I used to drink Seagram's VO Canadian whiskey - got   
   blasted too ;)   
      
   And I looked up the other one too, and found Wild Turkey American Honey.
