Tim_in_NC Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I find Dave Matthews Band and Sarah McLachlan to be very complimentary to the Klipsch Reference Line... List your Song/Artist combos that you feel really bring our Klipsch speakers to life... -TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyjoe72 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Same with me. Dave Matthews sounds great. I usually use Crash cd. I don't listen to them all that much, but it's a great way to let it rip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWho Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I prefer to let the guest bring over their own songs that they are already familiar with (which typically results in them enjoying their music that much more). But when asked to play my own stuff I like to play some Nightwish and Celldweller....Nightwish is for the crystal clearness and celldweller is for some bass sequences that just thrash the woofers around.

colterphoto1 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Try Led Zeppelin's remastered Kashmir or the live No Quarter ripping out of a pair of Cornwalls for pure nirvana. Yes, Siberian Khatru Deep Purple- anything featuring Jon Lord's B3Hammond Organ, you can hear the tubes distort and key click sounds in the lower registers are awesome. Rick Wakeman- anything- pure lush rock and roll! Who, Entwistle's bass just explodes in 5:15, and the song features Rabbit's great piano licks and great hrn section. Lots of little goodies that absolutely SLAM you back in your seat. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunburnwilly Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I agree with Dr Who . I give my guests the option of bringing their own music or picking out something I have that they want to hear . If they leave it to me , I start them off with something sweet like Norah Jones - Don't Know Why , or George Winston - The Music Of Linus And Lucy , " I love the old Charlie Brown stuff ". I then show em' the horns , ( pun intended ) with the live version of AC/DC's - Back In Black . When Brian Johnson is addressing the audience you get the feeling that this isn't going to be so loud , but on the little guitar warm up it feels like the air is being sucked out of the room and then , WHAM ! AC/DC Live for real ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Massive Attack "Angel" Breakbeat Era "Terrible Funk" Front 242 "Headhunter - Front Line Assembly Remix" Artist/Song: Killswitch Engage - "When Darkness Falls" I'm always looking for heavier "well recorded" music... how do they sound? And others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyT Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I forgot to mention these now that I have RF7s. Run em large by the way Metallica-And Justice For All Metallica-Black DVDA 5.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnsonhp Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Q-sound recording are impressive * Madonna - Immaculate Collection * Roger Waters I have a sampler disk as well: Female vocals = Sarah, Sinead, etc. Modern Jazz with drums and guitar - Fourplay Blues - Stevie Ray Classical violins - Carmin Jazz sax - Acoustic guitar - Eric Clapton "tears in heaven" A good sample of different sounds.

X-13 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Having someone bring their own is better to "show off", after all I took my own cd's to the stereo store when I was shopping around, It's a lot easier to hear the tone if you know the song. so anyways.. here's the list. Acid Bath...scream of the butterfly Bloodsimple...falling backwards Tool...crawl away Machine Head...burn my eyes Morbid Angel..where the slime lives Blind Melon...sleepyhouse Deicide...to be dead 311..amber Metalica...blitzkreig On vynil Vison of Disorder..resurecting reality EP Willie Nelson..stardust STP...purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
