- different than the ones I would use for jazz, for example. The biggest mistake one can make is to use overly bright sounding speakers for symphonic music. Large venue acoustic music sounds best to me with speakers or headphones that are voiced slightly on the mellow side (slightly rolled off highs and deep blooming bass). For jazz recordings I prefer slightly zippier highs and tighter bass. For rock recordings I like punchy midbass and an emphasis on leading edge transients across the spectrum. I always try to own at least two sets of speakers and two or three sets of headphones that can be switched in or out of my system, depending on the recording.
