Tom Petty's Wildflowers in HiFi sounds spectacular on KEF LS50 Meta

I streamed the new HiFi release of Tom Petty's, "Wildflowers" (Deluxe Edition) on my new KEF LS50 metas.  It sounded spectacular, as if the band was performing live in my living room.  Are these recordings engineered for specific equipment or classes of equipment?  The same music on my Klipsch rp 8000f tower speakers was clearly inferior.

It's also spectacular on My Harbeth 40.2's.  What you're hearing is a great recording.  Very well engineered.

Check out the Grateful Dead's American Beauty just released in hi-res.

It sounds really good too.

I just got my Wildflowers vinyl.  I hope it doesn't suck with my KEF Reference 1's.

I'm a week into the Meta's after a spell with the originals.  Listening to Wildflowers, now.  You are absolutely correct, that album was made for these speakers.

Seriously though, these speakers are very revealing....even more so than the previous version.  Great recordings simply sound fantastic.  Great Hi Res recordings even better.
