So I don’t have a super high-end system by any means. I have JBL L36 speakers. They sound awesome. There is some music that sounds absolutely incredible on them. The Beatles – Abbey Road. Oscar Peterson - We Get Requests, Robag Wruhme - Thora Vukk, Lorde - The Louvre…

There is some of my favourite music however, that sounds completely non-impactful and wimpy on the speakers as well. Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again, and in fact most of their catalogue. Bowie - Berlin trilogy sounds weak but it slams in my car…

I would really love to know if someone has a great system and Depeche Mode/Bowie sound fantastic on it.

    You can try some of those DIY DR-restored and declipped versions that are plentiful out there. Some of them are very good and give justice to our favorite metal albums, making them more pleasant on the ear. There is a great debate about those, and some rips might be underwhelming (mostly because of horrible original mastering), but some of them are really good sounding.
