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.
My Wharfedale Lintons and Audiolab 9000a help most things sound great. These speakers and warm and friendly to a wide range of genres. Anything that sounds thin or just bad is probably the original mix. But that’s fine. There is an endless amount of new/unheard music out there to take its place.
I don’t get the Bowie comment. Station to Station and Low are absolutely fantastic sounding albums.
