What do you think of Peavey pro audio speakers?I have a pair, and I am wondering what peaple think of them?
They are not very liquid and transparent sounding - perhaps my amp...
Will upgrading the amp to Bryston help, or do I need better speakers for that?
I like the sound of Vox tube line - are they better than Peavey?
What is there that beats Vox in terms of liquid sound?Thanks in advnace,
My microphone is studio project c3, with mogami cables.

Ditto what they said, except that I recommend that you also consider EV, JBL, and Yamaha speakers, as well as Peavey's "higher end" products.
Investing in better loudspeakers will yield far better results
then investing in a Bryston amp to drive what probably has
fundemental design problemsIf you have the cash for a Bryston amp then consider getting
some EAW LA series which are affordable
Peavey makes dozens of speakers, so you'll have to be much more specific. Some are rather good, but most are entry level. Driving a typical Peavey speaker with a Bryston makes about as much sense as putting a Rolls Royce engine into a Yugo.
Also, in this world of pro audio, the room makes a much more significant contribution to overall sound quality as well. Amps, not so much. Microphone choice and placement are other big contributors too.Best regards,
Rooms: can't change 'em. Amps: minor, except for current delivery.Microphone choice and placement are other big contributors...
Absolutely. Along with a knowledgeable sound guy, not some wet-behind-the-ears 22 year old who's never opened an acoustics book.
Many of the younger FOH guys do seem to have a much better undertsanding of the fundamentals than my generation did at their age. I've seen many of them using pocket computers to figure out boundary effects/wavelengths etc, though I'd be more impressed if they could figure those things out in their heads like us old timers do. What can only come with age is taste, and that seems to be in short supply.
Pocket computers and wavelengths. Nice. Ask 'em about a mic's pickup pattern at various frequencies, or the SPL of a trumpet at 3", or how to add presence to a vocal, or how to reduce cymbal wash. You've made my point.
