    802D or better for this...

    OK, so this may not strictly be a topic for B&W, but if you think you have a "nice" setup with speakers that are at least as full range as the 802D model (or have a very good sub or two) then please listen to this track. Remember to have the volume turned up and then be prepared to be amazed.

    The track is by James Blake and is called "limit to your love" and is not yet released, but will be on November 29th 2010.
    BBC radio is calling it one of the most important albums of 2010. Make your own judgment, but one thing is for sure - I have never heard a track like this one before. Nothing even comes close....

    Only have my laptop speakers for youtube but I can imagine the low frequency tone. Is it anything like Trent Reznor's recent hi def freebie album. He was mucking about with LF sounds on that recording. i wonder if that is still available now that I have 24/192 capability in the 2 channel setup.

      Please explain why. I have listened to it three times through the 1cm speakers on my laptop and the reasons aren't obvious. Presumably you are referring to the low frequencies that I cannot hear?

      You have aroused my interest sufficiently to get the album after 29 November. I can only hope that my lowly 803Ds will do justice to "Limit To Your Love". I'm fairly confident that they will!
