Currently using the Klipsch The Fives… But my ears want a bit more…
Hi folks, I’m a newbie to the forum, looking forward to getting to know you guys and gleaning from your vast experience in the world of high-end audio!
I am currently using a set of Klipsch The Fives speakers in my office with my MacBook Pro. I need something that has Bluetooth and is an active speaker as well. I’ve tried these, along with the Kanto TUK, and KEF LSX, and these were the best of those three. However, my ears would like something that has a little more upper end, a little more soundstage width. I have it paired with an SVS 1000 pro sub, which works beautifully.
Are there any other desktop Bluetooth speakers about the same size that would give me a little bit more accuracy in the image, a little more top end, and wider soundstage? I know this is all very subjective, but I would love some other options to consider. Would like to keep this under $1000 for the pair if possible, But I don’t mind extending beyond this if I can achieve what I’m after.
Are you sure it's more treble you seek? The Fives seem to have a tipped up response already - see measurements here.
Have you tried adjusting speaker placement? For example, if your ears are above tweeter level, try tilting the speakers back so the sound is firing towards your ears. Another thing to adjust is toe-in. Try turning the speaker until you can't see the sides from your listening position. Then start toeing them out in small increments. |
