Ported speakers rely on room reinforcement to supplement the low bass, also many full range speakers have complex (power robbing) xovers so a speaker rated to -6db at 26 hz may never be realized by the average consumer. I like subs for movies but prefer a full range 2 channel system for music.
Buying Speakers Based on Specs
Hi,
Is it a good idea to buy a pair of speakers based on specification? Currently I have a pair of Paradigm Prestige 75F and I wish it had a little bit more bass. The frequency response is 44 Hz - 20 kHz.
I am eyeing the Spendor D7 which has a frequency response of 29Hz – 25kHz or the PMC Twenty5.24 with frequency resp. of 27Hz - 25kHz. Based on the specs, these 2 speakers should give me more bass response, right?
I know, I know....audition the speakers in my home. But the problem the dealers in my city does not have in-home trials.
Thoughts?
