I wish they would play more complex music. Two instruments or a vocal and a guitar sounds great on a lot of systems. Show the system off with a orchestra or a brass band or a rock band.

[@guitarfoundry]

they do it on purpose to let the sound 'breathe'..there's also less chance of transients and reflections showing up the errors in the room....because: marketing.

[@gino3286]

"reflections showing up the errors in the room" i was really thinking at the same issue. I have Always had the feeling that to get a really great soundstage using omnidirectional speakers is a challenge. Actually i tend to lean towards very directional speakers. Very small sweet spot but also much less reflections to cope with. Maybe i am completely wrong in this approach. I do not know.

[@phast1]

There's more creativity now than there ever was. Artists are pushing boundaries so called purists can't even understand. Thank fake dichotomy of true vs fake music is the dumbest thing ever. There's a finite amount of sou des you can achieve with an instrument but an infinite amount of sound with any of the DAW's on the market. Some of the most creative, genre bending and innovative music I've ever heard was created in the last 10 years. My first love was Pink Floyd, then Hendrix and Zeppelin and I still vibe to those but the richness and complexity of artists like Nils Frahm, Shlomo, Amon Tobin, etc blows that away.

The trouble is with DSOTM is that the songs are too simple..It's studio effects album..good as it is, but the actual material is very, very simple..Also i tend to find that the vocals are quite sibilant on most tracks, or in different sections of the songs..I have the album on various pressings and CD's from the original 1973 Harvest to Doug Sax remasters and they all the sibilance to a greater or lesser extent.

[@stecrumpton69]

simon lloyd the division bell is a nice sounding album

[@joe6096]

You’re crazy. DSOTM is quite possibly the greatest album ever made. If you don’t get it your opinions on music and high end stereo equipment is completely irrelevant. There’s no other album with the depth, richness, and quality of DSOTM.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

simon lloyd are you sure it is sibilance you can hear? I can hear reverb, echo, and decay but not sibilance. The extensive use of echo to create the effect of a much larger recording area is very obvious, and to some degree is making the vocals a little muddy. Is there one particular track you can hear it on more than others? The use of multiple overlays also makes it extremely hard to pick up.

[@machrider2333]

think about this.... Sound ONLY exists in our mind. Without a brain there to interpret, it's just vibrating air. Now if these beautiful devices can help someone BELIEVE sound is improved in some way than in their mind it 100% does. There is NO question. Can these room enhancements survive scientific enquiry? Seems unlikely, but that isn't the point now is it? I love the idea of EVERYTHING in this room. I love the cables being suspended above the floor. I ignore the regular romex in the wall and the ordinary power transformer outside. The tape machine machine enhancements are superb. The giant price tag can also add value to the sound inside the human mind. It is beautiful. The human mind is capable of AMAZING things and audiophile gear is a wonderful expression of that.

Thanks so much for the video. I think MBL is state of the art, hand built in Germany by happy folks -- you can't beat that --- so I hope they keep selling them! For those who want this kind of sound in the home... yes it can be done DiY with dynamic all paper speakers and horns. For those who commented on how it's even possible to gain an impression of quality via KZbin... Yes it's possible and not too hard with some practice -- that's how mastering artists do it in the first place -- using reproducers of a known standard (ie Yamaha NS-10's, headphones or whatever). It's much better to post KZbin videos made with better quality condenser mics, XY, or Side/Front setups (aka Zoom HD6). Built in camera mics are often not so hot. Very nice sounding transients on the MBL's -- but they come across a little harsh at some freq points -- maybe?. I have heard plenty of 3 way horn systems at 1/10th the cost that would keep up fine with these... using vintage components that are about as clean and speedy, and smoother with even more detail. But they are not Omni, and not NEW -- so hey!
