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.
Can’t listen to And Justice for All on my system… Even tried the vinyl release…
And it used to be such a tight and punchy sounding album in my walkman…
I’m not a Metallica fan, or a metalhead for that matter. So I won’t pretend to know / understand anything about the genre. That said; I found Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets the most enjoyable albums in terms of sound quality and music. There’s so much to discover there on a decent system. They’re fun, and it sounds like they’re having fun too.
Reign in Blood by Slayer is an amazingly good recording, and the performance is fantastic.
I’ll check that out!
