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 had this problem when I upgraded my system to a very high end system. To solve the issue I purchased 2 Sumiko S9 subs that have speakon connection to the amp. These subs are like Rel subs so they are really made for music. It added back the bass but in a good way like a sloppy home theater sub would. Now I have a wide sound stage with proper mids and highs with detail and bass that is accurate. Hope this helps.
