I got "decent" but very budget powered PC speakers (Edifier R1280) which sound good with highly dynamic music like most modern Pop, Jazz, Latin etc.
When I play VERY compressed "loud" Metal or Powermetal, out comes an awful sound mush as if with very cheap speakers.
I had the same phenomenon with a rather bad 5.1 system (which was good for movies), with a powerful 400W subwoofer. It was ok for some music genres, but utterly awful for others.
When I listen the same songs on headphones, the sound...ie. my favourite bands like Nightwish, it sounds GOOD.
What are the criteria with a sound setup that decides that it is also good for such genres w/ compressed music?
I am planning to soon get a "real" system with a Marantz or Denon Amp, and possibly Dali speakers. As this seems decent, I hope there won't be a "sound mush".
