I must agree. While at first they come off as very detailed, over time one can realize the cost is in hidden harshness. Although, you can probably mitigate the issue with very warm tube equipment... there is always that, "It depends" nearby.
What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase?
I'm looking for a high performance all around musical speaker. My previous speakers are:
Bose 501 - I was young and they served a purpose
Infinity SM150 - terrible from the start
Boston Acoustics T1000 - actually a nice all around speaker
Polk SDA-SRS1tl - loved the full sound, not accurate at all
Thiel 2.3 - Very dry sounding
B&W N802 - perhaps my favorite, but needed to be played loud
Thiel 3.7 - I think Jim's cancer affected his hearing
B&W 802D - 1st gen, still have.....please stop my ears from bleeding
What do you suggest?
