Every speaker is a compromise of sorts...I recently gave up some bass extension for a more transparent, musical, and frankly rewarding sound...I prefer to have a speaker that really gets one close as possible to the actual recording/performance ...even at the sacrifice of some bass and top-end "sparkle"...also...one can always add bass...
Debating Full-Range
I've always been an advocate of speakers that can handle the entire frequency spectrum. I figure if I am to spend multiple $k's on a set of speakers, they damn well better be big, go deep, and play loud enough to fill my room.
Recently I've been looking at speakers such as the Bohlender-Graebener Radia 520's. I'm wondering if such a speaker with its limited ability to produce any more low frequencies than a mini-monitor could possibly impress me enough to go to the trouble of integrating a couple subwoofers and make a good HT system that is near seamless when it handles music as well.....
This is for a second system. 80% HT.
Any thoughts, or particular experience with these speakers>?
