Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

That's a giant!

Wow! That a monsta' fish!! Which one in the pic are you?

BTW, you indicated that SR-17 is extremely detailed, is the presentation in your face or on the plane of the speakers? How do they deal with less than ideal recordings? (Unfortunately I have a ton of these, being a fan of that era)

In my experience, I have seen three categories of speakers in handling this:

1. Speakers which are just unlistenable with less than ideal recordings.

2. Speakers which point out the flaws in the recording but do so in such a manner that does not stop from enjoying the music.

3. Speakers that gloss over the imperfections and smooth it out, but then do not sound quite open and clear on the good recordings either.

1 and 3 are not absolutely not desired. 2 is the one I am looking for. My current speakers (PSB Stratus Minis) lie somewhere between 2 and 3.
