Guys, try a class A listen to Kari Bremnes. A fantastic artist, and very good productions with little use of compression. The song «Lysbroen» should get your depth and width and space out if the system is up for it. And the bass is oftentimes amazing. Albums pre 2010 are recommended, and those from the 90’s are the best IMO. Some songs have vocals almost peaking, so those with inferior DAC’s or midrange peaky systems beware. No prob on my gear though, but I have the BBC dip so…

Cheers!

Andy

Need to put that one to my ears. Failed to listen through that album as most of them are in Norwegian. There are some cool artists over here who once upon a time favoured production quality over quantity. Mari Boine is another one of those. She joiks/sings in Sami, so impossible to understand. But music with feelings that easily pass the boundaries of language. I believe «The wolfs howl» or something is a good listening experience.

Glad to see you found something you liked! I’ll give your good tips a listen too. Thanks!

Thanks!

Considering Papa OB’s… your solution does sound a bit more wife friendly…

I agree. And Choky put the idea in my head as early as last year (I am quite a newbie, relatively speaking). Those OB’s fit the bill wrt room size, and WAF-wise I have some credit, so maybe worth a shot. Maybe need a B5 too, and an extra amp. But can’t complain about extra gear, and the possibility to learn even more. Gonna search the forum for tips wrt drivers, I know basically nothing about that. But SEAS is based in my area, so perhaps something from them :) Maybe I’ll give them a ring.
