| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions Thanks for the impression. on a side note, price is relevant in highend. Sometimes you pay more for worse sound | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response I would take a good look at Volti’s measurements. The frequency response is very poor on axis. There is a ton of comb filtering off axis too. The time domain is very poor. The box however looks dead quiet and they look great. https://www.stere... | |
| Revel Salon 2 Their used market value is $9k-$11k | |
| Revel 328Be owners...what do you think? Honestly if you have the 228be I would not spend the money on the 328be. But if you can sell the 228be you are really not out that much. I think I would take the Borresen comments to heart and seek out a demo. Too much good press to ignore. Me per... | |
| Revel 328Be owners...what do you think? Hmm define a “rock speaker”. I listen to mostly hard rock in general terms and felt revels did fine due to the downward sloping frequency response. Never harsh even on poor recordings. They play supper loud, silly loud before breaking up. Not sure... | |
| Revel 328Be owners...what do you think? I owned the 228be for about 1.5 years and demoed the 328be both with and without the revel subs. it is a good speaker that sounds as good as it measures. The reason to buy this speaker over others is the very smooth (extremely smooth) frequent re... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Yes 4329 and the pro monitor the 708p are cheaper options. i would buy used or demos when possible. I understand why people don’t but it allows me to buy speakers above my price range. I bought my JBL 4367s new in the box for less than the JBL... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response lol… must not like people criticizing musical tastes… not sure any system without subs could do the Tenet sound track justice. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Vanessa Fernandez “here but I’m gone” is totally fine for dynamic range. Much better than 99% of albums. Check the dynamic range in software, I am sure it is high. The original poster did not mention orchestral music. Which is hard on systems but ... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Well I did a direct A/B of my JBL 590 and JBL 4367s just now to listen for transient response. I did it in mono just so I could do instant switching through my preamp. I did not use my subs. amp was McIntosh MC462 and the speakers were right besid... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Transients are impulse responses in relation to steady state and it can be measured. Impulse response is to a specific input from base level. It is used to check time alinement. It is not related to distortion but most systems with good transient ... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Sweetwater has the 4349 on sale if you call. Might be worth checking the sale price. I also think they have a trial period and liberal return policy but I would check. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/4349Wal--jbl-lifestyle-4349-12-i... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response I can probably answer your question directly as I own the JBL 590 and JBL 4367. I have played them back to back in the same room. I agree with Phusis and would add it is all about “power to weight” of the system. Speakers are a mechanical system ... | |
| Soft dome tweeter replacement for Thiel 3.6s Interesting with good results. | |
| Borreson X2 How balanced are the upper octaves from a balance stand point? I have heard a few people call them hi-fi tuned which to me say bright like a B&W. How affected are they by tow in the highs? |
