The speakers look like electrostatic jobs. I heard some Acoustats a few decades ago and they conveyed the sound stage very well: very bright and vibrant if lacking a little in bass. Maybe things have moved on from those days. Electrostatics are still a rare device compared with the usual horn type.
Shed some detail Tony.

I've got my parent's original thick vinyl american pressing of Kind of Blue.
The pressing.
Bad thing is that it's been scratched and warped. Looks nice, but.
CDs sample at 44.1khz.
afaik the decision to sample at this rate was made so that the equivalent quantity of music could be recorded on a cd not equivalent quality.

We were sold a dud.
The depressing way to check out the equivalent of this is set the monitor on your computer to 16bit colour and see the difference between that and what you usually run - probably 32bit.
