Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: T.H.E. Show Speaker report, and excess opinionated rants

Agreed. The typical studio multi-mic, panned mono recording is not that useful for critical evaluation. Minimalist mic classical or jazz tells us what we need to know.

Pop/rock is great music and can sound wonderful in many cases. Still not much of a benchmark for determining system performance.

Large scale classical is the most demanding type of music in terms of harmonics, acoustics, dynamics. If a system sounds/performs well with large scale classical it will sound great with anything else.

But if many audiophiles don't care for classical no need to beat a dead horse and force them to listen at shows.
