Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I Completely Disagree

I heard the Newform R645 a couple of months ago at my friends house. He was driving the speaker with a Spectron amp, FT Audio passive attenuator, CEC transport, and Assemblage 2.7 DAC. The stock speaker, IMHO, is one of the most overrated speakers in high end audio. The bass was boomy, the highs were fatiguing and the speaker as a whole lacked coherency. After listening for 2-3 hours, I needed a couple of aspirin. I can't speak for the upgraded version, but the stock speaker is definitely flawed. Hmm, maybe that is why nearly everyone who buys it wants to upgrade it.
