I'm glad you like your FR speakers. That is what I used (Lowther) for 20 plus years in my system & enjoyed them very much. I moved on from them though. First to Tekton, then Wilson, & now B&W. That stated, speakers are just part of the system & I have no doubt you could make FR speakers sound better than "conventional speakers" IF you're using a low powered tube amplifier during your "blindfold test" for all the speakers being tested. That is after all what makes a FR speaker shine. If however you used a quality high end 300 WPC SS amplifier (or mono blocks) in your test, the Tekton, Wilson, or high end B&W speakers would excel. This doesn't mean your FR speakers are losers (they are not), just that the system was wrong for them.
Blindfold Speaker testing
So if we made a experiment where a group of seasoned audiophiles had to choose which speaker is best over all,
6 brands all hidden behinda curtain.
5 top dawgs in the xover box low sens design and 1 of the high sens PS design. How do you think the results will come out?
But we will not tell the group what speakers are behind the curtains, They will have no idea 1 of the speakers is Point Source.
How do you think the, or lets say which 1 speaker do you think would come out on top?
No lets do this, Lets give the group a list of 5 speaker brands, Walsh, Wilson, Tannoy, and 2 others which are very popular, like Joseph with the Seas.
and 1 more,
The mystery speaker is not listed, so they have no idea what speaker it is.
The ? speaker is the high sens Point Source.
Now Richard Gray hosts this *guess which speaker event* as he is a master of these types of gimmicks and has seasoned audiophiles fooled every single time.
Which speaker do you think will make top of the list in results??
I know.
The Mystery Speaker.
Then Richard pulls the curtain and reveals the winner.
SURPRISEE
