Dynamics, tonality, and flat response. Not a stickler for dead flat but some speakers with large deviations from flat may sound amazing on some kinds of music but won’t be a good all-arounder IME.

When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you?
When auditioning new speakers have you ever listened to a pair you thought you really liked only to realize you didn’t like them at all after seeing their measurements/specifications? And I’m not talking about speakers that would be too difficult for your electronics to drive but rather, you just didn’t like their waterfall plot, or their frequency response or some other measurement even though subjectively, you loved the way they sounded? Conversely have you ever listened to a pair of speakers you did not care for only to change your mind after seeing their specs?
Assuming speakers can be easily driven by your home electronics, in other words, no compatibility issues related to sensitivity or impedance, what is the single most important thing you look for when finding speakers you’ll enjoy listening to? How do you go about confirming the speakers you buy will be enjoyable to listen to in your home system?

CINDYMENT, "Why did you have to ruin his day by telling him the truth about all the foreign cars he had purchased and drove. "Even they will tell you that 75% of gm vehicles are now built in Mexico and Canada in non union plants."
You’re going to tell someone that has been a lifetime union member, and President for the last 10 years of a 46-year career (before retiring) about what has happened to the labor movement? LOL Your funny.. I lived it. Just look over my lifetime of car purchases and you will soon understand that if everyone had myself and wife’s buying requirements (Including Speakers !) America would not be flat on its ass to China, Japan, and 3rd world markets. Try and find one car in this list that is not American built, by American Unionized workers and with all the Profits going back to an American owned Company. Please preach to someone that has not held the line, because I have. I’m 65 now, and I will keep doing what I’m doing as it’s how I was raised. Too late to change now… These are my lifetime of 19 cars and trucks, my wife could produce 19 of hers, but you get the point.

there is no one single aspect. For me there are three: precise timbre, precise soundstage and lifelike dynamics. apparently those qualities do not translate well to measurements because i owned a pair dynaudio contour 60 which measure right... but they sound timbrically completely wrong and sound stage is completely messy. |
