JTR Noesis for music


Anyone with JTR Noesis speakers they use for 2 channel audio? Thoughts on them?

@roxy54  There were some impressions of them where people thought they out performed high end wilson and Focal grande utopia EM !

The reason that I am so curious about them is that they seem to be a better made version of the speakers I use which are my favorite of the many pairs that I have owned.
Where did you read those impressions?

The JTR’s are interesting for a number of reasons. They’re fairly high efficiency, use very good pro/pro-ish drivers (certainly the mids/tweeter compression driver), are partially horn-loaded, sports a large radiation area, D’Appolito configuration, and what appears to be an overall well thought-out and -executed design. The BMS CD, even at close to war volume strolls along because of being damped ~20dB’s (or maybe “only” about 15dB’s because of the small-ish horn) in this design to meet the mids/LF drivers, and this translates into very low distortion, smoothness and ease of reproduction in their frequency region. To really have these take off I’d high-pass them in the 80Hz region and augment them with a pair of (or more) very big and potent subs (JTR has a variety of suitable subs for consideration; I wouldn’t use less than one 18” direct radiating driver per channel here, preferably two, or even horn-loaded at that as the Orbit Shifter LFU). This would relieve the bass drivers in the JTR’s and add +6dB’s more headroom for an even more effortless sound, and also “free” them in regards to placement and where they sound the best (without taking into consideration LF-response). But even as stand-alone I suspect you’d be impressed by their impact and general coolness. The particular directivity pattern of the horns means involving more of direct vs reflected sound (contrary to what’s heard from most direct radiating designs), and this likely entails a fundamental aspect of their perceived sonics. Taken as a whole the traits/characteristics mentioned makes the JTR’s inherently capable into musical reproduction, if you ask me. 
That sounds good! :D
Eager to hear them. I think ill order some in the future, maybe few years down the road when i have a bigger space.
