Hello! New member here. I have been cruising the forums here the past few weeks and finally registered this evening. Back on topic! I have been playing with my home stereo more often lately and I have always been partial to Pop Music and things like that, never a huge fan of Classical although I do enjoy it. Well, last night I listened to some Beethoven and it sounded great through my crappy 189$ pair of Sony floor standing speakers. My choice for most achingly-beautiful music would have to be the following:

Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek
Jack Johnson - Adrift
Live - Lightning Crashes
Kenna - Hell Bent
Sigur Rós - All of their albums

Anyone else with taste like my own?
