Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce?


I’ve heard a number of speakers over the years, and the sounds of some instruments never seem as realistic as others. I would love to get some opinions on this, as I’ve been wondering about this for years.

My my vote on the toughest:
- Trumpet with mute (good example is Miles Davis)
- Alto sax
- violin (higher registers)

Thx!

SW is an excellent demo song. I have a first run press(XSM137878) along with a MONO South American press(not rare, but unusual)

The mono press actually sounds  more convincingly "real" to my ears. No instruments/vocal leaning left or right. Great album.

I heard a test LP of SW on a UBER $how system. Those horns can sound pretty real with the right stuff.
