In Reply to: the thread below brought up a question in my mind again? posted by cloudwalker on November 19, 2014 at 11:27:28:
the human voice. Only the old Quads have so impressed me in that regard (and my Stax and Koss electrostatic headphones…).
I have had several A/D/S loudspeaker models; they are very well balanced, have plenty of bass for their respective sizes. As others mentioned, the LS series wasn't meant to be a full-range or even approach it.
If you're interested in small ensemble music, they cannot be beat, imo. If you enjoy opera, don't expect them to reproduce very well much of the lower register or to do very well w/the more complex passages (symphonic music, too): the arias and duets, however, are altogether another story.
I gave away, to my best friend, my Chartwells about thirty years ago. He still has and enjoys them. He isn't at all an audiophile, has not much discernment, but I just can't bring myself to offer to take them back….
I've heard some of the smaller Harbeths sound very close; I may go there in the future, though my little Tannoy Cadets are extremely similar in their virtues.
