What instruments and/or types of music do you think sound the best on your systems?
On my system I really love the way the strings of violins and guitars sound as well as percussion instruments like cymbals and triangles. I really love the Focal tweeters.
listen to the bad plus. a jazz group. their standup bass playing is great. the strings and plucking sounds on these are the vistas . cut 6 will amaze the jazz fan
HAte to say it is the industrial music's stuff clanging and wacking. Sounds like I am in a foundry/ industrial plant for real! For actual (normal) music, the acoustical space always makes it seem a bit fake. I'd have to find a recording that was actually from a space the size of my listening area I guess?? Though small scale Jazz and Classical can get pretty close to being in my Apt.
My system plays all types of music very well, sans rap & disco - which I never play or want to hear. I listen mostly to jazz, rock from the 60's, 70's & 80's & classical music. I credit most of the sound to my amps (incredible bandwith) & speakers (best I've ever heard for stringed instruments). Love the trumpet (Doc Severensen) & flute (Herbie Mann). Vocals are superb, drums sound real & symbols shimmer. When I play Clapton (Unplugged) I swear he's in the room with me! My digital front end sounds great, but nothing beats vinyl or ever will (IMHO). I think Melissa Manchester (Working Girl) is telling me to play side 2 now.
