Wharfedale Linton Heritage speakers are excellent at reproducing snare drums. They are mid-bass speakers and as @kofibaffour states:
The Wharfedale Linton speakers are considered to have a balanced tonal character above the Schroeder frequency, which is roughly in the 300Hz range. Before purchasing, I was somewhat skeptical of the soft dome tweeter, but it really provides an excellent reproduction of cymbals, triangles, tambourine, cowbell, etc. I had been using speakers with ribbon tweeters - which do a great job with those instruments - so I was really surprised at how well the highs were represented with "mid-bass" speakers. Snares are sharp, and depending on the drummer, can be gut-shots in some songs. I will probably upgrade to the Super Lintons at some point, as they are likely a step up in all those areas due to the additional crossovers. |
Back in the day when I was in the business, "Tin Pan Alley" was used for demo in audio stores, at audio shows, and when I was in a client's listening room / home. I also used it, and still do, when evaluating a new piece of gear, such as another power amp, which I often swap out with another. My system as a whole, showcases very well, intricacies of every recording I play. Once the speaker and room do well, everything down the line contributes to the final outcome. Enjoy! MrD. |
The problem with Tin Pan Alley is that it sounds good on most anything of quality. But, it is a nice demo tune and certainly can show the differences in equipment. In this case, what this demonstrates is the difference in "snap" between the Yamaha RX-Z9 RECEIVIER in "Pure Direct" mode, and the Melton P/P KT-88 tube integrated amp rated at 80wpc (no feedback). Source is an SACD on an Oppo BDP-95. The difference is really obvious. These were recorded on a Nikon D750 DSLR and the tracks are within 0.2 dB using pink noise. |
