in my experience, soft domes just can't handle metallic percussion like metal domes (NHT classics, my former energys, B&W, paradigm & MB quart/dayton titanium) and "ribbons (maggie & EMITs) the same way ported woofers can't thump in the bass.i loved my NHT superzeros. they are excellent speakers with ZERO resonance issues, a very neutral tonal balance, great imaging and a musical (forgiving) sound, but they just couldn't match their own brand aluminum domes and the others mention in the speed & detail department any more than my JBL & mission bookshelves with soft domes could.
i used to hate metal domes when they first came out, & NHT classics are aluminum resonant too, but the best ones today, especially the same titanium domes used in axioms, are very nice sounding without the resonances early ones had
i don't JUST listen to dance music. i love a wide variety of music and mostly just hate anger music (metal, industrial, gangsta etc.), opera, showtunes, MOST jazz, & bagpipes. i listen to a lot of bachelor pad, oldies, big band, world beat, and a fair amount of classical too.
SOME of my "hi-fi" reference discs are:
rhythms - badi assad
DSoM - pink floyd (harvest AND a dual layer SACD)
gravikords, whirlies & pyrophones - VA compilation
the best of both worlds (hannibal/rykodisc) - VA compilaton
planet drum - michey hart
drumming - evelin glennie
the big bang (?) - rykodisc 3cd drumming compilation
the best of sade
BBC orchestra 3cd big band compilation
&
chants of india - ravi shenkar & george harrisoni don't dance at home or even play music loud, since now at least, as i've always lived in apartments, but still get into atomic dog etc.
