BEST RECORDING STUDIO
Shadorne, it begs the question, why is it that they don't,and is often the little studios, even bedrooms that can sound better?Springsteen's Nebraska album was done on a four track in his house, the producer Landau and Springsteen thought recordin... 
BEST RECORDING STUDIO
Bob Ludwig's studio? someone should tell him snare drums should have a crisp snap to their sound.DOH.Forget the big boys, these little chaps who do an incrediblejob with sound and recordings. None finer.http://www.woodbinestreet.com/ 
Loudness War
Mapman says; 'By the way, a lot of newer "loud" recorded CDs will cream lesser audio systems not capable of delivering the goods to an audiophile's ears. In some cases, I believe the shortcoming is in the audio systems ability to deliver the "loud... 
Best Remakes Of All Time
Just played Warren Zevon's version as I had never heard it before, and as Martyk1 says it is indeed a good cover.Not as good (IMHO) as The Sister's or Guns, but still a good cover nonetheless. 
Best Remakes Of All Time
Can't say I like that version of the Rolling and a Stones but I think you have raised the room temperatures in many a household just a tad with the Toj Mahole youtube clip.Nice voice for the Queen song though. 
Best Remakes Of All Time
Knockin' on Heavens door by Guns n' Roses has got to be THE track to max out yer equipment.It is also an excellent cover too! 
Most high-quality loudspeakers are 4-Ohms

Quality recordings of reggae/ska and alternative
Check out 'Sonic Boom Six' also.They are excellent!

% wise I would say that no large speaker company puts in conesas expensive as what KCS does in relation to how much the speakers actually sell for.I personally prefer speakers that are hi-eff and that do not need enough power to illuminate New Yor... 
Why can't all/most recordings be this good?
Because, hardly anyone in the recording business gives a hoot about a few audiophiles, the sound they want is the sound that will sound good and is catered for the masses that use cheapo cd players, alas they will sound awful in your mega buck sys... 
Great recording of William Tell Overture?
I would like to add also Rossini-Overtures on the RCA Vitrola label (7814-2-RV) Claudio Abbado with the LSO. recorded in 1978 ADD. Amazing 'monica playing too! 
frequency response - B&W vs. Monitor Audio
Dylanhenry-, there must be a reason why speakers (tweeters) go way beyond the human ear for defining a positive musical note and ampfliers to take the Musical Fidelity amp the 'Titan'(just as an example as I sure all amps go way beyond 20khz) can ... 
frequency response - B&W vs. Monitor Audio
Magfan you are indeed correct, the Bosendorfer mental amount of $$$ Imperial (best piano on the world by a long stretch)goes down to C (additional 9 notes) to give a full 8 octaves, so A below A1 (if there was one) would have a Hz of 13.75 add a f...
