Have you EVER heard "Natural Sound" in your room with any speakers?.... Maybe your room acoustics are the problem? Different speakers react differently in different rooms and setups. A very wide dispersion speaker may not sound good in a more reverberant room. Also.... what is YOUR definition of Natural Sound?.... It may not be the same as MY definition... ie... the sound in my head that I am seeking. We simply need more information to answer your question intelligently.
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.

I too was searching for a natural sounding speaker. I wrote a review of 15 different speakers I home demoed. I ended up with Boenicke speakers. The designer seems to spend much time recording concerts and as far as I understand it always aims to create a speaker to reproduce the sound of a live acoustic instrument. The other most natural sounding speaker I came across was the Sonus Faber. Review here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/a-brief-review-of-15-high-end-speakers-on-home-demo-including... |
Hi everyone, I have searched quite extensively recently, some names that come up are:- Josheph Audio Pulsars - JMR Offrande Suppreme V2- Spendor SP100 or SP100R2 The seller are not in my area so I can't demo them. I used to have Klipsch Chorus 2. I still remember the big sound stage, the weight and mass of the bass. However, the mid and hi-mid is quite harsh and grainy. Is there anything in the list can offer big sound stage, weighty bass and the organic mid of Harbeth? Thank you. |
Digital has a natural sound. It’s the sound of paper mache.This just goes to show that talk with someone enough, and some commonality can be found 99% of the time. To anyone who posts with a specific model or brand of loudspeaker to the OP, you have exhibited your own foolishness. There are only conceptual answers to be given validly to the OP, not specific. His choice of source has already self-limited his experience. I don't care which Harbeth he has or whether he has Harbeths at all. He could have 30 year old Realistic by Radio Shack (rip) speakers for all I care. Get a better source, preferably analogue, and position your speakers properly, make sure your room is not causing problems, and you will be on the right course. The problem with this Board (well, among lots of others) is that it does not allow posting of photos. I would love to see good photos of the OP's listening room. I bet his Harbeths are up against the front wall with a flat screen in between or close. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't fix a wife. That's a WAF joke. |
