The A.K.Fest is a wonderfull place to see what is happening in Audio, it is like most audio shows not a great place to hear what is happening in Audio. The rooms were difficult esp from a bass standpoint. Tyler speakers were brand new and did not have any break in time also he has redesigned his Decade line with different drivers and crossovers from his older series...Salk speakers do have some of the best looking cabinets around but with the source equipment at the show not the sound quality to compare with the looks...
Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice?
This past weekend I went to Karma Fest in Livonia, Michigan, and saw so many beautiful speakers in the Salk Signature Sound, I didn't know where to start. Since I live quite close to the company, I'll head up there for a private audition. However, after going through the A'gon threads addressing Salk speakers, I still don't have a real idea as to what they sound like - how they make music.
So, for those of you who know (and hopefully own), Salk speakers, what is the "signature sound" of these beauties? I know what to pretty much expect from a Harbeth, Spendor, Thiel, etc. but what might I expect from Salk?
The impression I got from some threads is that Salks are on the detailed, transient (leading edge of the notes), and cool side of things, as opposed to, say, Harbeth, which are on the warm and full (body of the notes) side of things.
Thanks in advance, guys and gals.
