A familiar subject of conversation resurfaced following the High End Munich show earlier this month; why can’t we have some more interesting music at hi-fi shows? And that was the polite version.
While it would be wrong to say that all you’ll hear at a hi-fi show in 2024 is The Eagles and Diana Krall (it might have been true a few years back), there remains, from my experience, a fairly conservative selection of test tracks on rotation at too many demo rooms.
