Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Perspective

24.98.177.252

Perspective varies from recording to recording. Each recording captures a different viewpoint. The consensus among audiophiles seems to be to let the speakers tell the absolute truth about recordings and let the recording engineers worry about perspective. Speakers should be accurate to the recordings (and not impose colorations or alterations of their own). That's fine if you have a collection consisting of pristine, perfect recordings.

Personally, I like speakers that are voiced with a gentle warmth curve, where treble power declines subtly relative to bass power. This reflects a more "naturalistic" balance (that's closer to that of the concert hall). Speaker voicing is critical to my listening enjoyment.
