Has your audio system gotten you into new music?


Before I picked up my current system, consisting of B&W 805S speakers, I was never really into female vocalists that much, but as many here know, B&Ws just love female vocals. Nowadays, a huge portion of my music collection consists of female vocalists, one of my favorite bands being Metric. I also appreciate other types of music more that I was never really into as much, like jazz. I think having a high end system lets you appreciate more types of music. Some stuff I used to think was "ehh" before I had the system, I actually love now. At least this is the effect my system has.

Yes, when i took the plunge into real audio and dumped the yamaha SS cheapie for a tube amp and real speakers i made an agreement with my wife to just buy blues LP's.

Well classical LP's are sucha bargin at are local thrifts so I am now a major fan of all things classical.
I now enjoy a catagory called Singers and Standards as well as more female rockers and blueswomen . Can't say that it is necessarily due to better equipment though .

Now as an aside... how many of us , that now listen to more female singers , are over the age of say 40 years ?
I have read that higher age can be a reason for this phenominon as well .

Happy Tunes .
Female vocalist are the defining factor in my choice of speakers. The most difficult instrument to realisticly reproduce.
There are many highly touted speakers that do not fare well in this area.
Great females voices are found in all genres, expanding my horizons a bit.
