speakers for listener with Tinnitus

Vienna Acoustics - Sonus Faber - Dynaudio Confidence series and the Raidho C .1 or D series

Thats not how you buy speakers.

Pre-amp is more important in this case. It needs a volume control. :^)

I also have tinnitus and find headphone listening therapeutic, as long as I don't listen too loudly. It actually seems to lessen my tinnitus.

As for speakers, for years I was using a pair of Meadowlark Audio Kestrels. About a year ago though I bought a pair of Thiel CS1.6s at a great price. My original intention was to flip the Thiels as I feared the metal tweeter. Now although the 1.6s have more treble energy than the Kestrels, the treble is so clean it doesn't seem to irritate my tinnitus.

Using cloth tweeters was one of those "truths" I adhered to for years. Not any longer. Good luck.

Should say, with headphones I take the volume just to the point where it drowns out the tinnitus squeal. That's as loud as I go. It is more difficult to drown out the tinnitus when listening to speakers. Not sure why, it just seems way too loud with speakers if I'm past the tinnitus threshold.
