HiFi is a fantastic thing, unfortunately many of the people I'm able to talk to about it don't get the enthusiasm I have towards appreciating and enjoying music.
My biggest challenge was showing my wife why sorting out a proper hifi is such a necessity. Admitidly she doesn't appreciate a lot of the music I like, Dream Theater, Metallica and Marillion for instance. She doesn't mind some Chris Rea or Dire Straits and can appreciate why I enjoy Pink Floyd, but even with Ben Howard she still didn't quite get it.
So I put on her Adele 25 album. Turned the 8000A upto around the 10o'clock mark and that got her attention, 'that sounds amazing compared to the car!'. I should bloody think so!!! But I'd succeeded, she got it, the room was filled with sound and Adele was singing infront of her.
The thing that amazed me was when I skipped to track 5, I was blown away. A simple track that just has Adele singing with the backing of a piano, what a fantastic piece of music. I don't want the piano to stop, the trebles are so crisp with the mid tones presented so clearly and then a bass from the low end that just surrounds you. This is something I've not experienced with this genre before because it's never drawn me in.
My quest is to find more piano based music like this, if anyone has listened to the track you'll hopefully have an idea of what I'm looking for. Full bodied piano, accompanied with singing or not, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Rich
