Post Subject: How High End makes solo flute make sensePosted by Ronnie on: 6/1/2006

I've had about 90% rock and pop music to play, but have saved lots of classical and mainly baroque music from Internet radio lately.

It wasn't before a few hours ago that much of that downloaded material became interesting.

Today I'm entranced by stuff like Bach flute sonatas... I would normaly have found it rather booring, and I think I saved it because it could become interesting to test the system with or something. It would make no sense at all for me through most speakers.
What's happened here is that, after cursing John and you three times, I managed to push the speakers far apart. And it was Madonna who made me do it! I noticed her voice sounded 100 times more interesting sitting very close to the speakers.

You may laugh at the description, but to me this now sounds great in a big-Wilson-speaker-demo kind of way, only without all that godawful hifi-show-treble... I don't know if there are any serious installations in Sweden except for when the yankees come to show off.

What happens when you invite your friend to listen to some content loaded classical music?
I'm imagining he'd instantly realize why classical can be more interesting if he heard something like Bartok piano concerts, percussive baroque music or just something irresistable like Scheherazade at your place.
