just as a contrast here are some videos playing rock badly, to highlight how good the above videos are
First up, Wilson Alexandria X2S2 with Dagostino momentum.
Here’s an Altec playing badly
Have you ever played a video recording of a system on the system that was recorded?
Via a Bluetooth dac or something.

Not on the system that was recorded.
Is the moral of this sorry tale that horns can just play jazz?
I am quite a big fan of 80’s pop music and a bit of hip hop. Would they be a bit shit at that.
If it don’t play Sugarhill Gang it ain’t no use to me.
The videos already in and coming up cover jazz, rock, violin, cello, piano. Large orchestra will follow, as well more vocals apart from the rock vocals. This thread was jazz, but penance combined other videos in here by moving the compares thread.
I can confirm that 80s synth pop and electro hip hop can sound very nice through horns. Would you like me to post a video of Rappers Delight and The Message playing through mine so that you can imagine what it might sound like in the room and make some generalisations up about it?

I don’t have a copy of the sugarhill gang but more than happy to play this through the tone scouts and video for you?

If you could post ‘Saturday Night’ by Whigfield you would be my hero.
Nikolai has possibly the best set up skills based on video judgement only. Various low priced stuff that passes through sounds great. He uses a Sony camcorder but I have compared that model to the iphone and difference is not much, his channel sounds good due to set up.
Here is some bluesy rock. Had posted a Duke Ellington in the jazz that started the madness.
Muddy Waters
Deep Purple

If it really is that bad for you, put the thread on permanent mute. It will disappear.

He is a closet classical and jazz fan. So he will watch and listen, and convert.
Tchaikovsky was the Morrisey of his generation, the 5th symphony is basically a teenage strop in elementary sonata form.

Well since you mentioned Tchaikovsky
The same recording played on the Sigma MAAT, with Kondo M1000, Gakuon, and Kondo Ginga with Lyra olympos. This is a very good system
Yes that is a very good system it is good
Is that the mono version?

sorry no fist pumping there. That sounds pretty dreadful, very thin and hollow. I know the black album is a bit shite but that takes it to a higher level of bad.
