I love Money for nothing by Dire Straits as a demo. It has treble, punch and bass.

However, I also play Dead Can Dance, Depeche Mode, and a few other more electronic artists.

Oh lord, yes. A local shop referred to my speakers as «fish crates». However, they have some of the best equipment, so some arrogance is to be expected.

I will never understand the bad mouthing of competition, either. It just leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth.

For many, allowing the spouse to add a few token items to the top of the speakers will lower the noise floor significantly.
