im pushing focus 380s with gryphon diablo and crystal cables ultra...the electronic music never sounded so good as on these speakers...its just matter of production and source at the end...for example of electro my reference...trentemoller "last resort" sounds nothing but sublime...but cabling and amp are mandatory to get this results on my speakers(and yours i suppose)...more better electronic more better results...classic, electro, metal, rap,jazz...just name it...so im very suprised to hear that your focus 160 dosent push electro good...
What speakers work best with electronic music?
I've been demoing lots of speakers lately, especially those in the Dynaudio & Focal lines. I personally own the Focus 160's. I listen to electronic music almost exclusively, with a little jazz & classical. I'm starting to find that I may just be looking for these speakers to do something they can't. They can play Jazz, Pop & Classical like I've never heard before in my life, but they just leave me wanting when it comes to electronic music. And it's understandable too, there are times where a single electronic track can have 60 different instruments going at once, sometimes even more. Only thing currently in my system that I wouldn't part with is my stereo F113's. Which speakers under $15,000 (used or new) should I be looking at it that will be able reproduce the complicated nature of a lot of electronic music with ease; something that just has jaw-dropping dynamic range?
