I have read so many posts where people have said, "My new monitors are so revealing, only the finest recordings sound good." Or some similar statement. I may have even made it at one time... I know that I have certainly had speakers that sounded amazingly good with some discs and not so inspired with others.
Over the years as my speakers and system have gotten progressively more accurate, the number of disappointing discs has shrunk. Sure, there are some recordings that are lifeless and compressed to death and others that were recorded in a train station with Radio Shack mics, but it has dawned on me that the 70's notion of "Rock Monitor" and "Classical Music Speaker" may be true of that era, but with todays more refined systems, you really can have a system that pulls out the magic from almost any recording.
