--Master: "The speakers of a GOOD STEREO are yoked together and in step." --Disciple: "Yes, Master. But what are the speakers of a BAD STEREO like?" --Master: "In the sound of a BAD ONE the sonics seem to veer this way and that as the speakers keep changing step, like two draught animals refusing to pull together." --Disciple: "Are these two draught animals like the speakers of a Bose acoustimass system?" --Master: "Yes."
