I think my Klipsch Heresy IIIs have a surprisingly "natural" sound with my tube stuff, and I have instruments around as a reference as well as a long career as a live concert sound tech, musician, and fashion model (not a public one, just me around the house wearing my own crappy clothing). However, I wonder if it's reasonable to use yourself as a reference as really, what the hell do I know? A good reference is to make a clean recording of the ambient sound outside, play it back on your hifi rig blindfolded and then try to determine where you are...this requires plugging your nostrils so you can't smell anything.
In search for speakers of "natural" sound
Hello,
I am using a pair of Harbeth speakers. However, I am not satisfied with the 'naturalness' of the sound (it could be that I am so demanding). I am looking for a pair of speakers that can produce the more natural and organic sound than Harbeth if there is any.
I know that it depends on the amp, cables, and other variables. However, let's assume that with the appropriate gears, which speakers do you think can produce the "most natural sound"? By "natural", I mean the sound that we hear directly from musical instruments, from the singer without going through any amplification.
There is a user mentioning that speakers from the past used that 'natural sound' as a reference when designed speakers. In contrast, the sound today (even the hi-end one) is to "hi-fi". He guessed it could be less people have chance to listen to live / acoustic music than before.
Is it right?
Thank you for your experience and recommendation!
Best,
Huy.
P.S: I know that my questions are silly and dumb, please bear with me.
