Larry, I remembered that you are a fan of smooth jazz. I've noticed that for whatever reason, a lot of smooth jazz recordings have obnoxious bloated bass. I'm a big fan of Keiko Matsui, and in general, her recordings sound good except for the exaggerated bass. It's just seems overpowering at times.



I too appreciate smooth jazz recordings, and agree that the bass is, indeed, bloated. I have found that the Denon/Audyssey calibration compensates nicely for the exaggerated bass in this genre and makes it a pleasureable listening experience. Audyssey really tames bass, to the extent that when you watch movies that you really want the bass effect, you have to go to "manual" to get around it.

More on topic, I find that "Dual Disc" recordings, e.g., Chris Botti, "To Love Again", are recorded amazingly well.
Has anyone else found Dual Disc to be acceptable?
