Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Looking for loudspeakers with a warm tonal balance ?

I have not heard any current designs that are warm either. Let me know when you find one?

I listened to a lot of the new speakers and I agree they are bright and etched...I have heard it described as voiced for contemporary music. I guess people don't listen to Classical anymore.

The closest to warm I have found in a contemporary speaker design is the Dynaudio line. None of them are warm, but they are all neutral (ruler flat power response with no peaking in the treble and upper mid-range ~ 1 kHz to 8 kHz or dipping in the power and warmth passbands ~ 400 Hz - 80 Hz) and that gives you a lot more of the pleasure of a warm speaker than a bright and etched model ever could.
