Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: I know all those speakers quite well

Well, I personally think that may not enough of a demo to draw conclusions. For one thing, did he have the speakers positioned correctly and was his room large enough to do them justice? They won't work in a 10' x 10' room, for example, and they need space from the front and side walls like any ported speaker. If I get mine closer than 3' from the front wall they boom. I've spent many droll hours in my room (which is dedicated with a separate AC line and acoustic treatments) getting speakers positioned and toed-in properly. This alone makes or breaks a system. Also, Musical Fidelity may not be the best choice for them. They seem to synergize with Naim in particular (ever notice that the Naim and Spendor logos are nearly identical?) Once positioned properly, they disappear and have a very unboxy, fast, linear bass response and the highs are smooth, even a touch polite or "recessed" and well integrated to my ears (certainly more so than the S3/5, Dynaudio and Elac speakers I also recently tried).
