Quite. But most simply wouldn't put up with such enormous speakers in
this context.

Discerning people with the correct priorities realise that you buy
loudspeakers to listen to, not to look at.

Discerning people may also have a life that doesn't just consist of
listening to loudspeakers.

We're all entitled to work out our own priorities in our own living
rooms, I would have thought.

Discerning people use ESLs so they *don't* have to listen to the speakers.

Some VHS machines had provision to record sound
only from an external source, because they actually made better sound
recordings than those little Compact Cassette things.

Yes, I had a Panasonic VCR more than twenty years ago which let you do
that. It could also be set up to record TV picture and stereo (hifi)
sound from an FM tuner - very useful for "simultaneous broadcasts"
before NICAM became available.

You need a new wife.

Mine came with me to the shop when we auditioned the new speakers. I
think they were all dark wood though!

That was possible with any VCR, because they would all record from an AV
input.

Well, yes, a poor choice of preposition I suppose. Being strictly
accurate, ideally you should be able to listen to the music, or
whatever, *through* the loudspeakers, without hearing the loudspeakers
at all.

I'm looking at one now - been transferring some VHS stuff after fixing it.
It's an FS1 - S-VHS with NICAM which cost over 1000 quid new. ;-) But
still suffered from failed caps in the SMPS. I'd forgotten just how long
it takes to search through a tape for wanted bits. ;-)

Only if you also had an external tuner. My Panasonic has a switch which
allows you to select the sound source independant of the picture - so you
can record pictures off air using its internal tuner, and supply the sound
from say an FM tuner.
