Hi Rob,
You are right, I love those small beauties.
What am I listening to? Bill Evans, Art Farmer, Cannonball Adderley, Milt Jackson, MJQ, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Dave Brubeck, to name just a few.
And lady singers: Cassandra Wilson, Billie Holiday, and Nina Simone
Joćo Gilberto, the master of Bossa Nova, and his followers
American indie folk: Bon Iver, Ray Lamontagne; and other genres like Lambchop, Calexico, ...
Plus Bach and Mozart and Rachmaninoff
Many different music types require a versatile system; my humble Teac does the job very well for the money.
I am very curious to receive my modded 500i and start looking for a pair of beautiful solid wood speakers.
What about your listenings?
Cheers,
Diogo
