Why I design and manufacture my own loudspeakers, most loudspeakers available are designed as much by bean counters and to pass WAF as they are for performance. To pass bean counters small cab, easy to build and ship,small drivers again saves cost, for WAF small and a nice finish. So many audiophiles buy the costly wee loudspeakers hoping to get performance but also tying to get loudspeaker past she or he who must be obeyed.
Where's the bass?
Need help.Had JBL L7'S for many years now.Looks like I have to update.Have listened to Focal Electras 1037,Usher dancers,Totems,Kef and others.All used and around 4-5 grand.What have they done to the bottom end in the last 10 years?None compares with the Jbl's?Have a Sunfire 300-TAD Pre and Cyrus CD.The ones I tested were all more musical and soundstages were better than I'm used to,but are basically bottomless.What am I missing.Has everyone turned into an "audiofile"?
