Experiencing momentary difficulty.

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Having problems with my speakers in my main system and took out the speakers I had for a secondary system that have been boxed since we moved over three years ago and connected them to the main system (with the ARC VT-100 III power amp not the Brystons).

I am surprised at how they sound much better in this room than the the ones they have replaced.

They are Rega Naos two way transmission line speakers. They retailed for around $2,300 a pair back then, whereas my main speakers went for around $12,000.

Acoustic bass sounds like a musical instrument with a full sound rich in harmonics and proper decay. Is there anything fundamentally right about bass reproduction from transmission line speakers?

Does anyone have recommendations for that type of speaker but with greater dynamics and ability to play at realistic levels?

I see that PMC has a whole range of them, but, like any company that produces pro equipment, many audiophiles look down their nose at them.

I don't want to push the two way Naos and destroy them as they are so nice with acoustic music, small groups and vocals.

Thanks!
