Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Sonus Faber Vs ProAc



Going up to $7000 opens up a lot of possibilities! I'm now doing a home audition on the Legacy Audio Signature SE, which gets you into the Dual Air Motion ribbon tweeter and mid range drivers, and bass extension down to 22Hz. I recently auditioned the Dynaudio Contour 3.4 at around the same price, and, while it is a very fine speaker, it's not a fair fight. With these Signatures, the highs are so clear and articulated, but without being harsh or "etched". Another great feature is that they do not resort to a mid-bass boost in order to give the impression of greater bass response, and there is even a 2dB bass attenuation switch, to be used in the event of too much room-induced bass boost. Electric bass lines are really nice to follow on these. Vocals are just incredible, in that there is not a hint of nasality or enclosure resonance on either male or female voices. BTW, I've also heard good things about the Ryan Audio speakers, but have not had a chance to hear them.
