Is there such a speaker...(loud but smooth)?

Hi all!

Interesting comments. At this point I am not looking at a price range. I was just wondering if there was something out there other than professional PA speakers that could really rock the joint. Actually, as far as that is concerned I remember hearing some Yorkville Elite PA speakers that sounded darn good.

A guy at the local higher-end store was saying that I should get a pair of bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer. That way the bookshelf speakers could play louder since they do not have to reproduce the lower frequencies. They have some Era bookshelf speakers coming in soon that they want me to audition.

Hi JohnK!

No, I did not say I am going with bookshelf speakers. I will go in to listen to them though. I cannot imagine that speakers that small would get as much volume as I would prefer to have.

I have played in a rock band back in the mid 1970s. We used to come on stage with three Marshall stacks for the guitars and bass. That was in the days before master volume controls on the amplifiers. We played loud! We also had some of that running into our PA system. It just fascinates me to no end that those professional PA systems can move so much air that everything vibrates. Do not get me wrong; I do not listen to music like that all the time as my old ears cannot handle it. Once in a while I like to crank it up and rock out though. It reminds me of the good old days.

Hey Jalanc42069!

I have contacted Emerald Physics and will be speaking with them some more.

All,

At this point I have not looked into most of the other speaker manufacturers you have mentioned but I will be doing so in the next few days. ATC sounds interesting.

Horns tend to be too bright for me in stereo speakers. I have heard some of the new Klipsch speakers and are not impressed by them at all.
