What music is your system setup for?


I am new here, so hello to everyone.
Did you set your system up for rock, jazz or classical from the get go?
Are your speakers far from the back wall, say 6 feet for a deep sound stage, some say nessesary for classical?
just off the wall, say 3 feet good for rock and some where in between for jazz, or does it matter?
Also what type of music did you purchase your equipment to listen to and is it a compromise when you listen to the other or does that not matter either?
Just thoughtI would ask.
Thanks for your input.

I have 3 or 4 pairs of very different speakers to switch in or out of service depending on type of music and what mood of volume I'm in... for example, big mother JBL L-200's for Reggae at concert jackhammer levels. Or Ralph Towner played on my Chario Academy 1 minimonitors for ah, much smaller presentation of much higher quality.
I switch back and forth between a Bryston B60 & an Electrocompaniet ECI3 integrated. The Bryston is better for pop/electronic music with electronically produced high frequencies and clear sharp distinguishable sounds. The Electrocompaniet is better with Jazz and Acoustic Music...the bass & mids are better but the highs are slightly softened with an overall more musical character than the Bryston.

If one were to ask me which I prefer I would have to state that it really depends on the music I'm listening to.
Mostly marching bands which I record live off the halftime shows. Just got a doozy from the Sugar Bowl.
I Live in a small apartment with SET electronics & single driver speakers. I think my system sounds best with small acoustical works (jazz & chamber music mainly) but I listen to all genres. In short, I'm with Warrenh. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
