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 can’t say that what you said has ever crossed my mind except now, some people think that a good system has to play music loud and clear to be good but I think of elevator music as a good test of how good your system is, Even Opera or something like Hans Zimmer, I love Bowie, Depeche Mode or Radio Head, Smashing Pumpkins,Pearl Jam and Nirvana as well as STP as great music to test your system but Opera and Hans Zimmer has many kinds of instruments in them and will test both your highs in your lows.
