1++ tomcarr. There are so many great recordings from all genres. I had and opera lover over last weekend. I played I Pagliacci recorded at Milan's famous Teatro Alla Scala. That brought him to tears. He didn't say anything about the system just that it was the best version he had heard.
I do not demonstrate the system so much as the music. Usually just the optics draw quite a reaction as very few people have seen 8 foot tall ESLs before. They expect it to sound better than anything the have heard except the audiophiles of course. Quite a few great recordings mentioned about. I am a bit surprised more live albums have not come up so I guess I'll hang this one out there, MFSL Waiting for Columbus by Little Feat. You left us with a great one Lowell.

Here are a few “ SHOWPIECES” from my LAST review that if you want to be ‘close to the concert hall’ may be worth auditioning! ( Not including Anne Murray)

Review about One Mic Recording by Joe Whip at Audiophile Style.

.....These guys and this recording just rocks. Pace, rhythm, tone and soundstage are just off the charts.
The precise placement of all four of the musicians perfectly matches the photos of the sessions.
The balance of all four instruments is darn near perfect. As you can no doubt tell, I am a huge fan of this recording.
It is one of the best in terms of recording quality I have ever heard. Of course, and as always,
your view of the actual music content may vary quite considerably from mine.
Nonetheless, I think we would all agree that this recording sounds sensational....
I’d go for the one microphone recordings from Sound Liaison. They are like having the band in your room. Btw they are on Black Friday sale this week.’’Carmen Gomes ’’Don’t You Cry’’Feenbrothers ’’Play Dave Brubeck’’Rainier Voet & Pigalle 44.https://www.soundliaison.com/index.php
