ISO - grit, texture, decay, life from snares and bass drums
Hi all,
Interested to hear some theories on what I'm looking for in a speaker (or new amp). My system features the Rega Aethos driving a pair of Wharfedale EVO 4.4 (bi-wired).
Don't get me wrong - it sounds great. Clear, precise, involving. Great tone, imaging, and separation.
But I'm missing a little bit of grit and texture. Sometimes I wish these speakers partied better. Snares don't *snap* crackle pop.
Off axis listening - especially standing in the room, rather than sitting - changes tonality significantly.
What am I looking for? More bass? More musicality? More Life? I don't want bright or fatigue.
Some speakers I'm considering in no particular order based on descriptions/reviews:
- Sourcepoint 8
- Revival Audio Atalante 3
- PMC prodigy5
Thanks!
@audionoobie, 👍 on the hz suggestions; the best way to seek those points is with a parametric eq, or an octave version that allows one to narrow or widen that/those choices. ;) One doesn't want a meat cleaver when a paring knife will do...*G* |
