I listen to rap. I enjoy it! I listen to it through my Legacy Audio Focus with my bryston amp and preamp and sony 777es cd player. I like to jam out on it and feel the bass through the impressive speakers. I also listen to Marilyn Manson and Dave Mathews to name a few they accent my CD collection well when placed next to Diana Krawl and Herbie Hancock. But it is not all about Bass that everyone seems to think. Tupac sounds more "Alive" through this system than any other system I have heard. As for TRU if you haven't bought any speakers yet I would like to recommend the Legacy's they are not that pricy used and they sound phenominal and the three 12" woofers will hit those demanding low octaves that rap requires without being muddy like those cheap systems. A definite A+ and great thread!
Rap music on high-end speakers
Hello,
I have audiophile taste in gear, but not in music. I listen to rap music, and occansionaly R&B. Is there anyone out there like me? What do you listen for when buying gear? I was wondering what are the benefits in getting better gear? I want to upgrade the speakers to either proac response 3.8 or wilson cubs. Here is my system:
Levinson No.23
aranov ls-9000
Platinum audio reference 2
Paradigm servo 15
kimber speaker wire
esoteric component wires
amc cdm7
