Tom Petty's Wildflowers in HiFi sounds spectacular on KEF LS50 Meta

Congratulations!

Great news.

Yes, you're only supposed to listen to that album set on LS50's.  lol

It's also spectacular on My Harbeth 40.2's.  What you're hearing is a great recording.  Very well engineered.  

Check out the Grateful Dead's American Beauty just released in hi-res.

It sounds really good too.

I just got my Wildflowers vinyl.  I hope it doesn't suck with my KEF Reference 1's.

I'm a week into the Meta's after a spell with the originals.  Listening to Wildflowers, now.  You are absolutely correct, that album was made for these speakers.

Seriously though, these speakers are very revealing....even more so than the previous version.  Great recordings simply sound fantastic.  Great Hi Res recordings even better.  

I am particularly impressed with that mix, Ryan's a total pro and is completely dedicated to his craft.  He did tremendous work in gathering all those other tracks in the package that were never released. The family was involved and it was defintely a labor of love of sharing Tom's creative spirit with us all. . 

Ryan does all his work in the center of Topanga Canyon, where Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, David Crosby etc all changed music forever.  

Ryan [and Tom] used ATC SCM 50ASL for monitoring.  Ryan recently expanded to create an ATC ATMOS set up for this  "Wallflowers and all the rest" record.  We were very lucky to help Ryan with putting the system together.

Heres a cool you tube of the long time engineer Ryan and Toms daughter talking about the project recently.  Buy this record!  Its the very defintion of realism in recording.

Super low compression on the 24/96 download.

Plus an excellent recording.

Spectacular isn’t how I’d describe Tom Petty... to each their own I suppose.
