I have to disagree that components equally reproduce music of all genre. That is the ideal, but in reality it is not true.
Let us consider this track by thin lizzy (one of my test tracks) with Brian Downey on drums doing his thing back during his younger days. Play this track at 100db+ and you couldn’t for the life of me (or for another 50 lifetimes) tell me these 2 speakers are genre agnostic and will fulfill this track the same way.
@ghdprentice @deep_333 The issue you are dealing with is that of a limited sample size. Rock covers quite a range and for every recording that seems best reproduced by a certain speaker I can find one that flies in the face of it. Classical is every bit as demanding as rock (with similar sound pressures); rock requires every bit the resolution as required by classical or jazz or folk or electronia.
The logical fallacy known as a limited sample size is causing your conclusions to be false. Its a very common conclusion! But if you have a decent speaker (IOW, deep_333, the recording you chose is showing up one speaker more than the other) then all genres will play equally well. If the speaker is lacking, all genres will play equally lacking, although as you have found, some recordings will come through better or suffer more according to that lack. But it will not be universal across the genre!
I saw one person asking (seriously) what speaker favored downbeat 80s new wave once... Sheesh!
