Just curious what songs you guys use to showcase the fidelity of ML audio when demoing it to your friends/family who've never heard it before? I'm not terribly into EDM, but have noticed that it really does seem to come alive with good highs and lows with certain EDM songs.

 

I sometimes play Sail by Awolnation. I'm not sure if it really shows off the system but it sure sounds damn good lol. I actually play the Avengers movie to show off. There's a scene towards the end that really shows off the surround sound.

 

i wonder how the Batman Dark Knight scene in China would sound like

 

Does the system play Bluray???

 

The best sound I've ever heard from my iPod on the ML system is "Stepping Stone" by Duffy. Rich bass, definition, clarity. Outstanding. Also, pretty much anything from The Rolling Stones Forty Licks album.

 

Nope nope nope.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. Played the 90 second preview from my iPhone and it did sound very nice on ML, very crisp. Ended up liking the song, so there goes another $1.29

I didn't think so. Another question, is there a difference in audio quality between BT streaming vs USB? I've only used BT so far due to the convenience factor.

 

Phronesis - Walking Dark is an excellent recording and showcases the ML's surround sound capability. That is if the jazz trio's music is to your tastes.

 

Some rap brings the best out of the system. Esp newer songs

 

Unplugged version Hotel California will be nice! Even though I dun have the ML, but this song sounds stunning on the Lexus premium sound system.

 

Play Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here" it sounds amazing on the ML. Another great one to showcase is "Rock the Casbah" from The Clash.

 

Yep, Welcome to the Machine helped sell me on the system from my first test drive. It was streaming over Bluetooth but my phone supports A2DP so it sounded good.

If you can find any surround-encoded DVD audio discs, they also really shine on the system. I have a few here. Not easy to track down, and not all of them play while you're driving thanks to a lack of standards with how they were produced.

Now that I think about it, since it plays video DVD's, and most recent movies are at least 5.1 surround, try a movie in it. You'll have to be sitting still of course, but you can still hear the sound system in surround mode.


><Edit: Dug this up while doing some googling, a legit way to find and buy DVD-A surround discs from Amazon: http://www.dvd-a.net/musicstore.html

 

No feedback Ramon?

 

Sorry, lost track of this thread... I played the piece zicogold mentioned and while Jazz isn't my favorite genre, hearing the clarity in all the different instruments sounded very good

My own discovery, Animals by Martin Garrix sounds excellent, one of the handful of EDM songs I like. Ready Steady Go by Paul Okenfold sounded pretty good too.

I get an allergic reaction to rap music that makes me want to drive my car off the nearest cliff, so I probably won't be sampling too many rap songs. Some of Eminem's stuff is acceptable though.

Titanium by Madilyn Bailey (not the David Guetta version most people are familiar with) sounded nice. This version is almost A cappella with just a piano playing, but the vocals really dominate and come alive with ML

I'll definitely have to give Hotel California and Ping Floyd a listen, haven't yet.

 

That will be the best $1.29 you ever invested. You will love the song and the way it sounds with the ML system.
