Best System for Pink Floyd

No reason for any system not to play any Fink Ployd music,
as they are all superbly recorded and engineered.IMHO.

On the track 'The Happiest days of our lives' off of 'The Wall', after the helicopter lands in the room and he says 'laddie, yes you, stand still laddie', when he hits the hi-hat I can hear harmonics (or something) that I only hear when played on vinyl.
I will be able to listen again to Floyd on Vinyl (woohoo)as I am in the UK next month.

Yes, a good point re headphones....but still not as much fun as speakers which can resolve all the weird detail, while imaging well.

Hence, my question.

I disagree with the idea that anything which can play loud and/or low is up to the task.

a few points;

-the ideal Pink Floyd system must do scale and space very well.

-you must have a great tt to be able to hear everything that Roger Waters 'Amused to Death' original pressing tells you. much of the out of phase 'Q' sound information info is lost on less than SOTA tt's. also the UHQR of DSOTM is pretty damn good.

-it does not hurt to have a great reel to reel machine to play 15ips 1/4" master dubs of 'Wish You Were Here' and 'DSOTM'.

--your room needs lots of deep bass capability and be coherent on peaks for 'Fearless' from Meddle to sound ideal.

i like my room/system for all those attributes including the appropriate software. i know there are other issues but those are important.

Dunlavy's?
