list of speakers

My quest which I started three years ago to find my dream speakers resulted in a lot of lists and comparisons. It occurred to me that I had not seen a comprehensive, free and user-friendly databases of loudspeakers and maybe there should be one.  Maybe others would find it useful (although no one is as OCD with lists as I am :) )

Others - meaning my kind - budget, beginner, not advanced audiophiles like you guys. So it may not mean much to you but still, any feedback would be appreciated. 

speakers (speakerchoices.com)

I know it's amateurish - my design skills suck, the only value in it is the data and possibly the search and comparison features. 

Last but not least, and I won't name names not to exclude anyone, thank you people for helping me to put together this web site, with direct feedback and advice over the years about how to find the ideal gear. Several of you also gave me awesome components for which I will be forever grateful. Thank you fellow members!

Thanks for doing all of this work. Impressive and helpful.

A thought on how you could expand this database and minimize effort. You may have already thought of this and decided not to pursue.

Reach out to speaker makers and ask if they would like to submit their speakers (in a format that you would provide) so you could just upload their data and expand your database.

Wow!! So much data!! I maxed out the memory of my Apple IIc all the way out to 64k, and STILL couldn’t fit it all in.

But, seriously, this is pretty awesome. Very nicely done. Intelligent and intuitive layout. As one who has spent a fair amount of time attempting to illustrate objects in simple graphic form, I can appreciate the amount of work that went into it.

I was (past tense) pretty proud of the survey I designed and placed on AudioGon. You win.

What a great list. The sorting ability is huge. Thank you. with a little publicity, some work to make it more complete, you can monitize it and do pretty well I would think.

The suggestion to add ratings has been made and is a double edged sword. It will cause tremendous controversy and lots of work for you. O’TOH, if you monitize it ratings will gather a lot of clicks. If you crowdsource ratings you will get positives from owners (almost always) and negatives from sour grapers and trolls....there will be a tremendouse amount of work policing and managing arguments.

Maybe you’ve made some omissions, and maybe this isn’t the area you focus on, but this list shows how few good speakers there are for the SET crowd, i.e., sensitivity of 95 and above.

Thans for your work and best of luck however you move forward. I have bookmarked the page.

Hey, categorize all speakers by sensitivity! And price! And country of origin!

(Although sensitivity is a pretty cracking idea.)

You’re not gonna have a free weekend for a loooong time...😉
