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.

    I think the fart was a bad example. I see it as a detailed system maybe you can hear the guitarist sliding his fingers on the strings. In a more musical system that detail may be lost due to emphasized bass, but it sounds better because the bass is the heart of a rock song not those little details that get revealed on a more accurate system.

      Yeah I like the bass. I have two 15” subs in mine. Just never thought I was loosing anything by turning it up.

        Emphasizing one frequency range always means losing in another. It’s all about relative sound levels. Have to choose what’s most important to you.
