SJY Audio Starry Night V2 and some LTJ Bukem. Testing these out as I have only listened to them a few times. They are surprisingly good once you get used to them. Good sound for the price.

SIX (2023) by Extreme - Full album went live a couple of hours ago and already on my 3rd listen. It's hard to get past the first track, Rise, so catchy and THAT guitar solo is insane, my fingers won't even move that fast, let alone being in the right place. The SR325x are eating this up, it's what they were made for, Nuno's Washburn sounds like a snarling, wailing monster - just the way I like it. Once you do get past Rise there is some very decent rock and a couple of softer songs too - Good album.

Death Walks Behind You(1970) by Atomic Rooster - The fourth album that 13yr old me ever bought and one that has remained close to the top of my pile ever since. It has never sounded as good as through the RS-1x, they just open up the music so well and give each instrument it's own space in the sound stage. This coming together of John Cann and Vincent Crane produced something really special and something they never captured again. I would happily rank this up there as one of the very best prog-rock albums of all time, it stands along side the very best from Yes, ELP, Genesis, Gentle Giant, etc. It's a real rarity in that all eight tracks were exceptional songs, no filler in sight. It was the only Rooster album Cann sung lead vocals on and he did a really good job but Crane insisted getting in a vocalist for the next one, which was a very good album but it meant that Cann felt marginalised, so he left - and that was the end of their brief time in the spotlight
The WA3 is a real find. I actually prefer it to its larger OTL sibling, WA2: quieter background due to solid/state rectification (? ). WA3 manhandles even the Beyer DT880 600 ‘ohmie’
