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.
My garage system is cheap ass and I love it. AC/DC Who Made Who, Van Halen, early Metallica sound authentically better through my old $69 Dayton B652 Airs and a passive Optimus Radio Shack sub that are carelessly shoved on a storage rack behind tarps and tomato cages. On occasion I have grabbed a can of Miller Lite and a lawn chair and enjoyed music bliss.
