BigRed, we are on exactly the same track, and I agree with your assessment of the LSH 16Rs. I also like your approach to finding what you like. I go with my ear and my gut. I may be able to find out later what scientific/mechanical things go into making a sound, but I prefer my ear when selecting the sound I want.
I first fell in love with that scooped, R/S Martin sound watching old BBC recordings of Neal and his D-45 in 1971. Then played a D-45 Marquis at a Martin rep presentation at the local store. Well, suffice it to say I am not getting a D-45 Marquis. But maybe I can land in that family of sounds.
