Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best?


Looking for speakers that bring out the tap on the snares the best. Thanks!

I don’t know- we used in pan alley live to demo the new ATC 20A, a small active two way.  The trick is if you can identify that the vocals use a cheap dynamic mic (sm57/58?) while the band is direct from the console. 

Yamaha NS-5000 has tonal accuracy 26hz-40khz using woofer/midrange/tweeter made from the same aramid fabric. It has the effect of a single driver with much broader frequency range.  There's a Vandersteen model that does the same. The market trend is disparate material drivers that are crossed over with cone woofers. So it depends on your budget and inclination. 

The DALI Epikon line really gets it right. I've got a pair of KEF Blades that i'm seriously considering selling to move to the Epikore speakers. Personally, I think the Blades are a better value dollar for dollar, but dali really did something special with the latest release, whew.

Wow that Epikore 11 is 75k$?! It better sing and dance for that kind of money
