Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I'm pretty much with you

although never being an owner of the 57's. My buddy has them and on some music (acoustic & most jazz) they are without a doubt magical and could actually bring tears to my eyes. Although when listening to AC/DC they're not the speaks for me.

My Tannoy D700's have some similar qualities, but of course I'm running SS amplification and the 57's were all tube driven.

What I like about the D700's
-Beautiful near field listening.
-No harshness in and by themselves.
-Not as euphoric, but enough to draw you in.
-Able to play high volume without sounding just "louder". I've had comments such as "wow, there is more music, but not necessarily louder"
-Able to play ALL music well.
