Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I used to own these speakers unmolested....

driven by an Audio Research D-90 tube power amp and the Audio Research SP-9 hybrid pre amp. IMHO, in my listening room they sounded visceral, smooth, and very organic in the midrange, although a little wooly in the bottom end however the top end was a bit roll off as well. BTW, if you feed them with the right recording it can do a disappearing act just as good as some twice their price point.

The only thing that I could think of that could make these speakers to sound harsh is if you underpowered them. These speakers required a lot of current not just wattage to make them sing properly due to their swingy impedances that sometimes dips to around 2 ohms.

Perhaps you should try driving them with better quality electronics.
