Default America has a great new concert hall

It is still right up there with the old Carnegie (and some would argue also

Boston Symphony Hall is generally regarded as better than Carnegie. I
think the latter gets higher marks than otherwise would be the case
because of where it's located. If Carnegie Hall were in Denver or
Kansas City instead of New York, but identical in every other way
acoustically, it would go down several notches in the eyes of many
critics or afficianados.
