Ken K Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 The Regamy is new to me -- an interesting piece well performed, as is the Schoenberg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomicTime Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Especially the “ dark mix “….. Simply superb with Vandersteen powered bass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply superb with Vandersteen powered bass The Dark mixes are my faves. I also noticed lots of articulate bass info that's fun to listen to. 😄 Subs would improve the performance of my 2CE Sig III's. I've heard it demonstrated on models 2s at a Vandersteen dealership years ago. I was pleasantly surprised that the mid and upper registers freed up when the Vandersteen sub was installed. If only I could accommodate one of those ... Just not enough space among existing equipment in my living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomicTime Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 i bet it sounds fantastic on your Steens as well, i guess i was gushing but also hopefully sounding grateful as well…. best to you @Boom Boom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Boom Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 Sheesh! I wish I could listen to your systems @TomicTime! I could only imagine. It's been over 20 years since Peter Gabriel's previous release Up. I was excited to acquire this one. I saw him live in 2016. He and Sting had separate bands opposite ends of Key Arena (now renovated into the Climate Pledge Arena) during the Red and Blue Tour. Towards the end they came together and at one point sang their own version of one of the other's songs. Happy holidays in advance to you! -Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Boom Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 If you're a fan of choral music (and Bryn Terfel), you'll likely find this one enjoyable. My Vandersteens do incredibly well with choral music. Takes me back to when I sang in a choir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you like PG - highly recommended Good music. Super quiet disc. Love the cover. The recording is , how shall I say it, "old style"? Like from the RVG days but with little room ambiance. Very natural sounding. Not hyped up or with the piano extending from L-R. I'm sure one of the reviewers will do better explaining. I'd recommend buying it if you are not part of the Kick Starter program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonM Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 If you like Fleetwood Mac and you stream music, search and find "Dreams (Take 2)" on Rumours (Super Deluxe). The band doesn't have themselves together and they don't sound great. For all I know it literally is take 2. However, Stevie Nicks sounds better in this version than in the original final release, if you ask me. Just gorgeous vocals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
