Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?
How about 47%, would that be better ;) If you are going to continue and quote the SP review, I would have to question your own ability to reason, but I will try one more time.Today, you can have a pistonic cone that will be well damped and will ou... 
Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?
I was hoping that the very simple explanation of why a speaker cone should be pistonic will enlighten you (this has nothing to do with Vandersteen, he just happened to explain it well). These are all very basic concept of physics, but you have to ... 
Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?
@prof I suggest you watch this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2pvz6RDBCEIt will explain to you some facts; they correlates perfectly with what mheinze is trying to say (Unfortunately, JA can not be trusted when it comes to UK made loudspeakers, ... 
KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
LOL, you were there when I demoed the Mini. You couldn't contain your enthusiasm.  A shame you have to lie about that... 
KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
I remember back in the Sound By Singer days; Dave, the Audio Doctor now, sales guy at SBS then, use to love Magico. I guess his palate changed, or maybe it is a line he can't carry...  
Focal Sopra No 2 vs Magico A3
So you are saying that because the recording process is “colored” to begin with, you are OK with adding more, and this time gross (like MDF vibration), coloration on top?Unlike my “rubbish argument” yours is brilliant... BTW, the job of a good mas... 
Focal Sopra No 2 vs Magico A3
Not a good idea. I just watched his latest video, I had to check the date; this guy has not left his basement in 40 years. He still thinks that a plastic woofer cones are hot. And he likes to assess his work listening to music backward, I kid you ... 
Focal Sopra No 2 vs Magico A3
All speakers should be made with stiff cabinets that are well damped. If hearing music, the way it was recorded, is boring to you that is for a another thread altogether...  
Focal Sopra No 2 vs Magico A3
Coloration is always a bad thing, unless you are building guitars.There is no "magic" in MDF flexing. 
Focal Sopra No 2 vs Magico A3
Been done already:https://www.soundstageglobal.com/index.php/product-debuts/magico-a3-december-2017/739-magico-a3-loud...I like Focal industrial design, but it come with a heavy penalty of gross coloration from the lousy MDF cabinet. They should l... 
3 best 10k speakers now imho
@dimoraIt's hard to beat the folded ribbon tweeter in the T-Refs that is so smooth yet revealingThis is one of the worse tweeters around. Hard to imagine an experience audiophile fall for that. Even JA was alarmed, time to get the wax out ;) htt... 
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
"Strictly"?? Who said strictly? But giving the amount of money spent here, you should consider what it is you are buying. Even if you like it, it may very well be crap :(  
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
No question, audiophiles do weird things, but you have to be out of your mind (I guess a typical audiophile;)) to sell a Magico S3 for any MA, which is a mid-fi speakers manufacture, better compared to Paradigm and such.(Yes, yes, I am sure you th... 
Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others?
Measuring "perfectly flat" means absolutely nothing. Measuring evenly, relatively linear and smooth ON, and smooth fall-off OFF axis is critical for good performance (some prefer a slight gentle, smooth slop down, 2-3 dB on-axis from 20Hz to 20KHz... 
Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others?
@prof This is where it gets a bit complicated.There is a reason you (and many audiophiles) are drawn to this (colored) type of sound; it has a lot to do with how we perceive loudness (see ’Fletcher–Munson’ curves). To compensate for the dynamic li...
