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.

    Also remember that different mastering studios have different house curves. So your system might have to be adjusted to get closer to the house curves of the mastering studios of the original recordings. For instance, DM or Bowie’s mastering studios may have been bass-heavy. As an illustration, a car has a natural bass-heavy transfer function because of cars’ small size; perhaps that’s why those recordings sound great in your car.
