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 have loved every system I own and most of the components along the way! I enjoy detail and slam. I enjoy tubes and solid state and utilize twin sub’s for most listening. I enjoy headphone listening and stream Tidal in the car also. I have semi-high iem’s and low fi - enjoy it all! I look forward to upgrades but, I’m also very satisfied with my system now. I have components and speakers that are over 20+ years old and a few sets and components added in the past two three years. I will probably upgrade my system soon and its been fun all along the way.
