Progressive Rock


Have any of you specifically built your system to listen to progressive rock, i.e. Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, etc.? I'm curious because I have, and was wondering what components you have found that lend themselves well to this particular type of music. The reason I asks is that I attended the Home Entertainment show last month in NYC. And not one of the rooms I visited were playing rock of any kind - and they did not seem receptive to taking request - especially at the volume I would need to hear before plunking down oh say $12,000 for a pair of speakers. Any incite you care to share is appreciated. Thanks, Matt...

nrenter nails it , almost. horns do rock thousands of live shows and can rock in the home too. i'm not talking about those delicate single driver things in the endangered wood cabinets.....i'm talking jbl,altec,klipsch......
progressive rock often uses the studio as an instrument, so so the traditional audiophile qualities get thrown out the window, which is fine.........jane,barclay james harvest, rare bird,manfred mann's earthband... yeowza
