Wow! I listened to exactly the same Erato Bass organ with Marie Claire Alain to test and refine and optimize my AKG K340 hybrid headphones.
When you hear deep bass with your feet and body with bones resonances clear without distortion or boomness, with a soundfield completely out of your head, you know that you had one of the best if not the best headphone ever made but extraordinarily difficult to understand if we want the necessary optimization of it. ( it takes me 6 months of experiments for my 6 improvement reading the patent of Dr. Gorike a genius acoustician physicist)
AKG discontinued it as flagship because it was profit eating to improve it. Kennerton guy even said that they renounce to create a similar hybrid because of too much reasearch for way less profit...
Nothing beat a big church organ and a piano to test any audio system.
After that chorus music separation and voices timbre....
Bach is the Gauss of music.
Not knowing Bach music must be counted in life misfortunes. So divinely great it is.
I dont play a music instrument, i will next time i live.
I knew what an organ sounds like. I’d spent years attending Houston and St. Louis Symphony concerts, but I can tell you, there is NOTHING like the sound of a massive church organ. I know what that’s like, and like it or not, that is the ultimate sonic experience that we have at hand. Bass freaks beware. What I’m saying is that, within minutes, maybe less, I knew I’d assembled a great system.
