What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker...


and system? Have you really studied the options and do you really understand what they can possibly give you in return? I am being very, very honest. I am not at all looking for pedantic, argumentive jabber. Looking past slight compromises you are willing to give up in this journey, what do you really want in a loudspeaker??? Complicated if you are a novice. I would like to hear from some experienced audiophiles. Thank you, Dale.

I can't help thinking this is a very oddly put question. Dale, if you asked simply what we are looking for in a speaker, do you think we would all lie about it? Why in the world would it ever occur to us do that? Or why would it occur to you to think that we would?

To give you a very, very honest answer, I look for a believable representation of the natural timbres of unamplified instruments as well as a reasonable facsimile of those instruments playing in a concert-hall space. I swear to God, I am. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Very sincerely,

This sounds quite reasonable to me also. I would only add that I always want to be connected to the performance, most important.
Simply , a speaker you enjoy listening too . Specs and technobabble mean nothing if you don't like what your speaker or system are doing , and we all seem to prefer something a bit different .
A speaker I can listen to for hours and not get bored.

Not very complicated for me.
