This is some quality recording. Could also check for any rattles in your system or venue.

This next selection is a little different and may leave your jaw on the floor. Or you may have a better description than I.

It's been many, many years since I last saw and enjoyed this film. I thought the way this scene was done was brilliant. And here is another classic done by Clint Eastwood, whose voice is better the Lee Marvin's.

I kinda jumped from sharing top notch audio quality, but these last few songs listed are iconic and bring back memories.

Lee reminds me of Phil Phillip's Sea of Love. These songs would just not be the same, iconic songs if performed by any one else. They make the song.

The down side?? There is another voice in this world who is not now afraid to sing.  :shock: :shock:

I see my joke about me starting to sing went over like a lead balloon.  :lol:

So back to another with great recording quality.

This one, one can perceive the tremendous openness of the venue and other great qualities.

I can't remember if I posted this link or not. Viola solo which should have a richer sound than a violin.

Here is a great recording and song, "Africa" by the Angel City Chorale. Soundstage is huge,
check if the voices smear together, tonal balance etc. It will test your system, good for
testing buzzes, or other abnormalities. Also, just love this version of the song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c9-poC5HGw

Same group on AGT, singing "Baba Yetu".

Here is one from the MilknBlues, from Brazil. "The Happiest Days of Our Lives, Another Brick in The Wall - Stones + Pink Floyd"

The first selection will produce very punchy bass, and Another Brick has the deepest bass of an electric guitar, in spades. The harmonica is so sweet and live, is the only way I can put it.

I was watching a movie tonight (Return to Me) and heard this song for the first time. WOW. Jewel's voice should be absolutely magnificent, beautiful, so special with the effects. I wish I had heard this song years earlier.
