Was really looking for a Gx50 review and here we go!
Just wondering about male and female voices: how do they sound ?

Thanks.

Glad we could provide a product review you were looking for! In the review, Mark comments on vocals in three different examples: two movies (The Covenant, Star Trek: Insurrection) and one piece of music (Dave Edmunds). He rarely comments on female and male vocals specifically unless something is amiss with either one (for example, if female vocals are particularly boomy), which wasn't the case here.

Hi Scott, thank you for your comment. You are perfectly right: vocals were commented for both movies (where clarity and resolution could be appreciated) and music (where, for this live piece of Rock music, I understand that at high volume the speakers turned to be a bit too much revealing or even harsh with respect to the singer's voice).

Good to know that in general there was nothing bad to mention about female & male vocals.

Great review!
