Oslo HiFi Show 2025

[Sokel]

As I said I think the majority of the time someone else picked the music, but here is the main playlist we used. Some hifi muzak but lots of other stuff too, including some tracks with pretty deep bass.

Hmm..
Do you have anything against classical???

Not specifically, but it is not something I listen to a lot either. In my defense there's at least three classical tracks in that playlist!

With three out of a hundred you're not my friend
I would include something grand if I were you, good, big speakers shine with classical, more than anything else.

Get some easy to the ear ones, like Scheherazade, Ma Vlast, Swan Lake, etc. which all know.

While I assure you the dynamic range and clarity of the Saranna ensures it excel with classical music, the audiovisuals we've chosen to represent the speaker is of a different flavor. As evidenced by the release trailer.

I see you like it fast and dynamic.
Here you go, as fast as no other genre can do and dynamic down low even if its not true classical, find it and listen to the three winters:

(fair warning, it's overemotional)
((fair warning 2, it softly bangs below 20Hz, take care with that))

That takes cojones to do so.

And being Norway, do not discard someone asking for Mayhem's Funeral Fog or Emperor's Loss and Curse of Reverence. After all, trolls live up there before anywhere else.

Damn, too bad I lived there so long ago. :R

Someone putting on pretty hardcore metal happens every show. They sit there with a wide smile while everyone else runs out of the room.

Classical music, at a HiFi fair, full throttle in that case. Pedal to the metal. Let the speakers work hard. It separates the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Here's an example:

The score of Arnold Schonberg’s Gurrelieder (1901–10) calls for 20 1st and 20 2nd violins, 16 violas, 16 cellos, 12 double basses; 4 piccolos, 4 flutes, 3 oboes and 2 English horns, 7 clarinets (among these 2 in Eb and 2 bass clarinets), 3 bassoons and 2 double bassoons; 10 horns, 6 trumpets and a bass trumpet, alto trombone, 3 trombones, bass trombone, double bass trombone and tuba. Plus 4 harps, a keyboard player and 5 percussionists. In all 144 musicians, not counting a narrator, five vocal soloists, a huge choir and a separate male choir.

Arnold Schonberg’s Gurrelieder is not something I listen to at home. Too much of everything in that piece. It would probably be a really cool live experience though.
(I may have substandard HiFi that can't reproduce that piece properly. Which is why I don't like listening to it. )

Here however. Jazz with a good brass section can be nice to listen to. At home and also at Hifi fairs. Like..what should I take...this to remember the genius Quincy Jones. Nice arrangement, it swings.
