The lowest note on "Flight of the cosmic Hippo", Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Also on Paula Cole's album "This Fire" there is a song with bass that will blow your speakers up if you are not careful, cant remember the name of the cut, but this is a tough one for your system to get right.
Which CD failed you on bass notes?
You thought your system was pretty decent enough to reproduce those deep bass notes until this CD made you think otherwise. Which CD often failed you in bass reproduction when the others sounded fine?
I always have the impression that recordings by jazz group 'Fourplay' is of audiophile quality and often use their music to gauge the bass capabilities of my system. I have no problems with a variety of hard rock music with hard-hitting bass notes but my system sounds like crap when track no. 8 'Go with your heart' from Fourplay's album "Yes, please!" was playing. The bass on this song seems detached and loose. I don't know if it's the recording of this particular CD or my system is not up to it. The peculiar thing is that other CD's(instrumental jazz or hard rock) with difficult bass notes sound fine to me and this is one of the few that sounds awful on the bass. Whenever this happens it always instigate one to find fault on his/her system to get things right.
Would appreciate if anyone here with Fourplay's "Yes, please!" album would care to comment.
