With the big serious ones, not much, accounting for taste.  The little
bookshelf ones, eg, the old L100 (`Century' in civilian garb) are
horribly colored in a way usually described unflatterningly as ``west
coast sound.''

The problem is not that the big ones are bad, only that there are
probably thoushands of 4 and 8 track stdios still using L100's as
`accurate' monitors; their owners/user often wonder why things sound
funny when they take them elsewhere :-).
