Progressive Rock

Have any of you specifically built your system to listen to progressive rock, i.e. Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, etc.? I'm curious because I have, and was wondering what components you have found that lend themselves well to this particular type of music. The reason I asks is that I attended the Home Entertainment show last month in NYC. And not one of the rooms I visited were playing rock of any kind - and they did not seem receptive to taking request - especially at the volume I would need to hear before plunking down oh say $12,000 for a pair of speakers. Any incite you care to share is appreciated. Thanks, Matt...

for what it's worth, both pink floyd and peter gabriel use ATC active monitors at home and in their studios. why not listen to the albums on the same speakers upon which they're mixed/mastered?

have a look at my system - while i'm by no means a prog freak, i do own moody blues, rush, peter gabriel, pink floyd, syd barrett, etc and they sounds amazing (as does everything else)

nrchy - we are in 100% complete agreement! mark the calendar! stop the presses!

that's exactly why i built my system the way i did.

and nrenter - accuracy is not subjective. it's measurable and real. one may prefer a certain style of distortion, but they're wrong if they call it accurate.
