I feel like I hi-jacked this post. I appologize for that.
To me the best speaker is one that works with the room. Not to much bass, much better that the room can handle it. Most rooms vibrate just like autos when the subs in the trunk start rattling.
Most of all I like speakers that get out of the way. I want to see into the source. I mean speakers should just let the "good stuff come through".
If you are lucky enough to own really good electronics you will realize you don't need 50K speakers. What would they do? Fill an auditorium?
Just simple speakers, two way, two and 1/2 way. I want a minimal crossover not one that robs me of the music. I have seen crossovers that have more components then my preamplifier. Sick.
Well the amplifiers are warming up. My Pinot Noir has had enough time to breath, ( 6 minutes at the most ) so have to be going. My X wife is out of town so the night is mine.
Disclaimer: I am a dealer for Sonist Speakers and Wilson Benesch Speakers and deHavilland Electric Amplifier Company and last but not least Kubala-Sosna cables and interconnects.
Hold you applause I was force to do that.
