RE: B&W Matrix 1 series 1 - opinion and advice.


Hi and thanks a lot for the very kind and valuable reply.
I feel much better now. I thought the "sluggish" bass were not curable.
You say " Polypropylene is a GOOD cone material ".
This issue of drivers quality fascinates me a lot indeed.
I have read many times that paper cones (i guess the good ones) like the one by JBL for instance can convey better the famous PRAT effect.
I tend to agree.
I have some speakers with "plastic" cone woofers and while i find them musical and clean they sound also a little polite. They fail to give emotions with rock and pop tracks.
I am not obsessed by rock and pop but i like it.
I bought these speakers because i read great things about their construction. And i have to say that the detail is very nice and they sound quite natural. Real.
However following your advice i will try for sure a better amp. That is absolutely sure. I am crossing fingers.
Thanks a lot again.

Kind regards,
bg
