Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Nay

NO.
i AM considering buying a pair of LS50s some day when i start building another home system and IMMEDIATELY plugging their distortion holes, i mean ports, because there just isn't an AFFORDABLE pair of quality acoustic suspension speakers priced lower.

NHT superzeros are really great sounding as long as you sub them and don't care a lot cowbells etc. sounding soft. their much more expensive classic 3 siblings are MOSTLY amazing sounding except for a slight unforgivable aluminum driver resonance signature and everything else under $1000 has lousy thin cabinets like role kayaks or the otherwise amazing sounding energy RC10s that have great drivers, but make you chose between unforgivable port resonances or cabinet resonances if you plug 'em. the KEFs have extra beefy cabinets AND "class A" drivers.

as to stacking them? NO you might get a bigger soundstage, but you totally defeat their "point source" purpose with two tweeters as well as possibly induce comb filtering effects.

if i had $3,000 to lay down on a pair of speakers, i'd probably get ATC SCM19s instead
