Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Also

don't let the naysayers put you off because you like rock -- Good speakers will make rock sound better. I listen to pretty much all forms of music and I needed a speaker that could play anything from Beethoven at load levels without congestion and I needed it to play harder hitting synthesizer music from say Delerium to head pounding music at loud levels from the likes of AC/DC.

Most speakers make you choose one or the other because the SPEAKER is so deficient in some area that it forces you to choose music that the speakers is able to play rather than letting you choose music you actually like. The difference is in finding a speaker that will play all genres well -- they will still tell yoy which recordings are deficient but good speakers won't emphasize those problems.

And you can;t go by the audio press. Listen to Beethoven's moonlight Sonata or say Diana Krall's Departure Bay and some Aerosmith on the $2300 B&W 705. Bass is one thing dynamics is the key. That raved about speaker has neither. Directly compared to a $700.00 speaker it's not even a contest.

You do not even need to have a price range here because there could be something for a lot less that simply is designed better. Note I am not saying this about Dali but about numerous expensive speakers. Dali may be one of the giant killers for all I know.
