I’ve got a few hundred Rock/Alt Rock CD’s.
For the most part, they sound great on the 80’s. But……there are a few that do sound like crap. This isn’t necessarily the speakers fault, but probably the idiots making the recording.
I’ve got both the new Nickleback, and the new Shinedown CD’s. I enjoy both these groups immensely.
The Nickleback CD sounds awesome. Very clear with some kick ass LFE’s that only a good sub can produce. I ain’t kiddin, this CD friggin rocks……..
The Shinedown CD however…….just friggin sucks. Great band, great music……I love the music these guys put out. The CD is very disappointing though. Everything sounds as if a big ol’ plastic bag is over the speakers. I was about to sell my Wharf’s it sounded so bad. So for the hell of it, I listened to this CD on the 80’s, and sure as sh**, the CD sounded every bit as bad.
Other groups that don’t sound too hot are Breaking Benjamin. Great music, bad they sound sibilant. Reavis sounds the same, sibilant.
Audioslave sounds great.
It all just depends on the disk.
