i gotta say, with classical music if there is sound reinforcement and I am
there it is for one of two reasons. Either someone I absolutely have to see
is playing or I got free tickets. Otherwise it is a deal breaker for me. What
blows my mind is that someone would show up and be surprised by the presence
of sound reinforcement. It's a big world and I guess all kinds of things
happen but I have never been to a classical concert that used sound
reinforcement that I didn't know about ahead of time.

Another thing that irritates me is theatre. More and more that is being
amplified as well. I have shown up for amplified shows without knowing
it. With small group music you can usually figure out what instrument
is coming through the PA system. In theatre it is often difficult to
pick out the actor who is speaking or singing.
