In Reply to: Not an enjoyable room in my opinion posted by Metralla on January 10, 2005 at 19:25:45:
Hi Geoff,The difficulty for me in setting this room up was mostly in the selection of music to play. I have over a thousand SACD's, with many of them multi-channel, but I have never listened in anything but two channel mode. This was my first multi-channel system.
I was not please with my selections either and agree completely with you. Some of the music was a bit gimmicky, but others just completely blew me away. I was mostly trying them on the fly and some were hits and others were quite bad.
The brass and organ piece you heard was a brand new "not yet released" piece that actually is very dramatic in a slow building way. The sense of space and dynamics were incredible, but certainly not good for a short demo. I would not call it a very exciting release, but nonetheless outstanding. I listened to it quite a bit after the show and was really pleased.
The Kodo drums I thought were fantastic and very realistic. Any exposure I have had to live Kodo drums always has the drums alll around you. Two years ago at CES we had an opportunity to see Cirque d' Soliel and the drums were everywhere. The had extreme dynamics and depth and this system was the best reproduction of that experience I have ever had.
The single best selection I heard was a two channel recording of a piano and violin selection that had me near tears. It was wonderfully recorded and gorgeously played. I later found out it was one of John Atkinson's recordings and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
I really wish you would have let one of us know that you wanted to hear different music. We were playing anything anyone wanted hear and I would have loved your opinion with something you knew.
You should have been there Monday when we really got a grasp of the music :)
