Coldplay on Quad 988

"So you are recommending that he change speakers because his Coldplay discs sound bad? Great advice."

I think he's just saying that a more forgiving speaker will make the coldplay recording quality more palatable...

IMO..I would never want or buy any gear that mask the quality (or lack of) in a recording..Makes no sense if you think about it..

A recording is what it is. I vote to let it all shine through, for better or for worse.

A remaster might help or not. You would think not in this case since this is a modern recording of a high profile top selling band and that there is no reason to get it wrong in the first place. The sound is probably just what the producers wanted it to be and not geared towards the piddling audiophile market.

Use B&O

Playing Coldplay on a good speaker is just wrong
If it sounds good get rid of your entire system
