In Reply to: Yet again the buzzword to help poor speakers ... posted by RGA on October 12, 2005 at 12:17:00:
Imaging isn't the end all to be all but it should be included as a measure of the speaker's ability to faithfully reproduce music. To get imaging right relies on phase charactersitics of the drivers, and their interaction with the speaker cabinets and room boundaries. And phase is important in getting the tonality right. Its all related and one can't talk about good tonality without affecting other characteristics such as imaging. I can't imagine hearing a speaker that is tonally accurate and has no imaging capability. I'm also of the opinion that speaker manufacturer's try cover off the broadest spectrum of speaker attributes such as dynamics, tonal accuracy, etc as I suspect some of these charatersitics have inverse properties. I don't think they just zero in on one attribute.I know you have a bias against Canadian speakers. You've mentioned this on other sites but you are of the minority on this. To call makes like Paradigm, PSB, Totem, and yes even Axiom poor is just not correct. They may not be to your liking but they are certainly not poor. You also have a hangup with metal tweeters stating that they are inferior to silk domes etc. Its just not the case. A recent review of PSB Image Speakers referred to them as layed back, warm sounding, similar to B&Ws and they incorporate aluminum tweeters. Just my 2 cents
On a side note. Have you heard the pro-ject2 turntables. Wonder how they compare to the NAD533.
