Which is better, a fussy speaker or a versatile one?


When rating speakers into the high and ultra-high-end (or ultra expensive?) what do you think makes a speaker better?

Take two speaker models, for about $400,000 a pair, and 800 lbs.  One requires an excellent room, super quiet amps while the other sounds great in a number of different acoustic environments and can be powered by modest amplification, and speaker cables don't seem to matter.

Which is truly the better speaker, and which would you rather live with?

Let me see.

Either I have a speaker that will be a pain in the butt to get the sound right or a speaker that is easy to get the sound right?

This will require further analysis. I will get back to you in January.
