Please keep in mind that the eye has to be trained.  If it doesn't know what
to look for I don't think that it is fair to generally blame it.  It took me a
long time to hear the subtle differences in sound systems.  Once my ear was
trained I found the majority of sound systems to be harsh.  Those that I
determined to be this way were very good at one time.   Although I think my
eye for dynamic range is very good I am sure with your instruction it would
become much better.

 Who was it that once said, "No one ever lost money by underestimating the
 taste of the American public."?
