True in theory Ralph, but in practice for a speaker to, say, be appropriate for Rock music I would say it has to be able to play LOT louder than it does to be able to play solo harpsichord music. I have Quad 57's for Baroque, but they are unsuitable for AC/DC at realistic SPL. Of course a speaker SHOULD be able to play all musics, just as it SHOULD be 100% transparent and uncolored. But none of them are, so one must choose his colorations. Different speakers have different strengths and weaknesses that make them better and worse at playing some musics than others.
Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd
Hello everyone,
While I have been reading the forum for quite some time, this is my first post.
I have a modest audio set-up that I want to upgrade: Yamaha rxv 657, Infinity P253 and technics 1700 turntable. Just sold a Denon CD player that I need to replace too.
I want to start with the speakers. I listen exclusively rock music in a 4x7 square meter room.
Due to availability in my country, I wonder what would be the best speakers that 1 kusd could buy. My options are:
- BW 685 s2 (due to great reviews).
- Paradigm 20
- Monitor Audio S6
- Dynaudio x14
Could consider/get Jamo 803 and Dali too.
I wish I could stretch to the Sonus Faber Venere 1.5.
What would be your recommendation, taking into account that most dealers do not have demos.
Thank you!
