Non-flabby bass, along with non-bright treble. I have heard many many speakers with a great high end and midrange, but fuzzy, flabby bass that I don't want to spend years trying to correct with room treatments, different amps, cables, power cords, etc. The best combination of bass and treble I heard was the Genesis 500's, which I bought several years ago. I have never had to treat my room in any way.
Speakers: What's MOST important to you?...
When you demo a pair of speakers, what criteria do you use to judge the quality of sound? What must the speaker have or do that will bring out the check book or credit card?
