In Reply to: Has rock music strongly impacted audio design? posted by tinear on June 8, 2012 at 11:13:43:
...if it hadn't been for the Grateful Dead, John Curl would have never designed the Levinson JC-2 preamp, the first great, musical sounding solid state design in the 1970s.
Rock music tends to focus your attention on the mid-bass much more than classical music where, in general, the focus seems more on the upper midrange.
Power demands are not necessarily greater with rock, because symphonic classical has a much greater dynamic range, requiring a lot of reserve power for triple fortissimos.
More power for greater loudness is required for rock than many other genres, though.
