How did I miss this concert?
There's nothing like a good live concert to compare your phones with and the Sigma's are especially good at re-creating a vocal concert ambience.
Not all halls sound great and not all hall locations sound great. One of my recent discoveries was that the upper balcony in the Dorothy Chandler in LA sounds better than most other locations in that hall. Evidently the reflection from the ceiling helps. The ticket lady for the LA Opera told me I was wasting my money on the founders circle/loge tickets, so I took her up on it and saved a bundle. Just bring some small binoculars.
BTW for anyone in SoCal, I have one such an upper balcony second row ticket to the April 11 matinee of Gotterdamerung for sale on Ebay due to a clash of family events.

Of course is not the same, but the sound coming from my Sigma ain't to bad when compared with the real thing! |
