| Big orchestral sound in pop, rock etc. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. That´s plenty to explore, I´ll be quite busy in the next couple of days. Today I listened to Chicago V (I´m going through the discography) and maybe it´s a bit too jazzy for my taste but the overall sound of t... | |
| Big orchestral sound in pop, rock etc. Thanks so much for the suggestions so far! I´ll definitely have a listen. | |
| Favorite genres for fun listening Anything is likely to sound better on a better system. For me that can also mean a badly recorded black metal album can dound more like what it is then. Even if that means it sounds more like recorded through an old phone. +1 for Ambient and adj... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Just out of curiosity I´d like to hear the OP´s or @stager´s take on Norwegian Black Metal. Their takes will be refreshing for sure. | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus Atari Teenage Riot in 1998 at a festival. They were extremely loud during their set but when they were about to end they let their keyboardist shower the audience with an incredible onslaught of just digital noise. A pure, screeching, overdriven, ... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? The music I listen to is reflecting the mental place I‘m in, mostly. At some point high-energy music for venting feelings was what I needed. I experience much less need to delve into - for example - frustration and sadness nowadays. Now the music ... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" The easiest thing to have online is an opinion. So here‘s mine: To me whatever Sting did in the last 40 years barely qualifies as music. It doesn’t do anything for me; I can’t learn anything from it. His post-Police stuff is either boring or mast... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @musiclover1 And I´m saying that the Cornwalls need subs even though they are fairly big speakers. Those are huge! | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Four! That is a lot. What speakers do they support? | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i And now: Subwoofers. I have received two subs to thouroughly test at home. SVS PB-1000 Pro and Rel T/7x. Both add exactly the depth and oomph that I was missing. As some may know I´m running the R-800i (805) with Klipsch Cornwalls IV, which are r... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i The amp is back and working well. To be honest, I didn´t really get what was wrong with it – the language barrier. It seems that there was something with the electrical wiring. Which didn´t even affect the tube: I asumed it was broken since there ... | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? @seola30 So good that REM´s music gave you strength when you needed it. That´s a lot. And they have a lot of beautiful songs. Personally I´m more of an „until Automatic for the People“–person but there are great songs on all of their albums. But ... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller I may ask the local repair guy, but I´m facing two obstacles there: First one is that I wouldn´t know exactly what I´m talking about in the first place. I kind of get a sense what this missing resistor is about but could I explain it? N... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Latest update: One of the 805s blew and the power fuse as well. I put all stock tubes back in (just to be on the safe side) and replaced the power fuse, which was well hidden for the amateur that I am in the socket of the power cable. When I turn... | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's The boomer sentiment of the OP aside, there´s one thought I keep having: I actually pity the young generation for having everything instantly available. A sense of historicity is not part of experiencing music and the thrill of discovery is mostl... |
