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.
Oh yeah. It really brings to light well mastered and balanced records vs those that are not. Sting sounds amazing.
Oasis? Not so much. Many of my 80s favs have low bass and the snare drum is like a gunshot. That said, Tears for Fears sounds good and Bryan Adams as well. So - hit and miss.
