In Reply to: Has rock music strongly impacted audio design? posted by tinear on June 8, 2012 at 11:13:43:
When I visit the multitude of rooms at the CES and other audio shows, I almost never hear rock music being played to demonstrate the equipment. Perhaps an acceptation to that occurred a number of years ago when Santana's Super Natural was released in 1999.
Last week while attending the Newport Beach show, I was astonished to hear in the Wilson Audio room some Grunge Rock being played over Wilson Sophia 3s. I stayed in the room for maybe 15 secs before I reached my limit.
Normally the music played to demonstrate gear is either Jazz, classical, eclectic and orchestral.
None of the popular crap that masquerades as music. I think that genre is left for the young folks who walk around with Mp3 buds stuck in their ear.
