I bought this a few years ago but only played it for the first time today as I heard the music wasn't that great despite it being an audiophile's reference. It is actually pretty good. My question is this: Do other Agoners think the recording is quite bass-heavy?

Hi noromance,

The FIM K2HD CD is quite good. No bass heaviness playing on my system right now. I use it as a periodic test of how well my system handles mid-bass harmonics and lower-bass tautness/tunefulness. Big macro-dynamics in the acoustic bass and kick drum, but tight and powerful.

My only gripe is that the xylophone solo on track 2 is over 6 feet wide...

Best to you noromance,
Dave

Hi noromance,

Roger on that. Recordings like this always have overzealous mastering engineers trying to make their reissue "special" among the sea of others...

Best to you noromance,
