Best System for Pink Floyd


Someone who I never expected might listen to Pink Floyd was praising Dark Side of the Moon recently.

It made me realize that I have been listening to it for over 30 years now, and I still get something out of it every time, and also trust and rely on Pink Floyd to test the resoltuion and imaging of my audio components.

Which made me wonder:

Imagine if the only music you would ever listen to again was Pink Floyd, what components and in particular, what speakers would you suggest?

It would be fascinating to hear how you like to listen to Pink Floyd, as well as an interesting litmus test for capable and dynamic systems.

Mike, I'm certain your system gets everything possible out of the recording and the experience.

Tvad, Im sorry if I missunderstand, I might interpret "immersive" differently, stimulation for a number of senses?
But for me the headphone is always 2 dimensional compared to my speakers, even though I own some very nice headphones. There good if no one else wants to listen to the music though.

Interesting. I have never considered headphones 2 dimensional in sound provided the recording takes advantage of what headphones can do.

A binaural recording through headphones is incredible in its recreation of the live event.

Perrew, I can't and won't debate personal opinion. It's a waste of time.
