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.
Once a got a decent system, not even high end, I was able to hear many more layers of sound I never heard on a basic system. I am talking about discovering entire instruments I didn’t realize were on a track that I couldn’t hear when I just listened in my car.
Some music sounded amazing.
And yes some music sounded shit and overproduced.
