Kidding or not, Enya's music has some of the deepest, most musical synthesized bass available. It will give the best systems a workout. One of the best bass demo songs is "The Long Ships" from the same album (Watermark).

Not Happy
If you ever get a chance, listen to the DSP premium sound system in a VW Phaeton. My 2004 Phaeton DSP sound is like sitting in the sweet spot while listening to Magnaplanar panels. Imaging is amazing. Sound quality is unmatched, to me. In comparison, the B&O sounds like a bunch of drivers trying to fill the cabin with noise. It's really disappointing. The bass is gross. I'm guessing somewhere between 75-110Hz is so enhanced that only a teenager could love it. CDs sound best, but still, imaging is lacking. If only there were a way to add a better DSP/DAC. So many speakers and so much wattage set simply on "go" seems like such a waste. I've had to A8 for 2 months. One day I'll say goodbye to the Phaeton and likely get bogged down in sentiment for the rest of my life. Piech really nailed it with the Phaeton. My D4 A8 is fun to drive, but when so many important things are better in a 2004 VW, it makes one wonder why...
