| Best speaker brands for transient response @goofyfoot thank you for the recommendation on the Quads. The ESL models are out of my price range but I've had a look at the Revela 2 and it is in my range and has been very well reviewed in the limited reviews out there. Music Direct is a dealer... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @emergingsoul thanks for your response. I get very good transient response through a Cambridge CXA61 integrated which is definitely not a high price point amp and maybe I just got lucky that it's a great match with my KLH Model 3s. I did a lot of... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response 172 responses so far. Who would have thought transient response was such an important thing for audiophiles? I figured it was at the bottom of the list. @cdc I just can't express how grateful I am with everyone pitching in with their feedback. ... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @james633 thank you for your feedback. Yes that adjustment option matters, my KLH Model 3s have a treble adjustment knob and I turn mine lower by 0.5db and it does make a difference. I do enjoy my 4305Ps very much and while they don’t offer qu... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @james633 thank you -- so would you consider the 4349 in the higher end range or more mid-range? That's still on my list. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @deep_333 -- thank you for your response. For example, Meyer Sound and pro Yamaha (specific models) Do you find that the Yamaha pro strengths find their way into their premium home audio models like the NS 2000/5000? | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @ddafoe thank you for your response, that is super helpful. I didn't prefer it over the big Spendor's bass output which to me sounds more like a sealed box than a ported design; This is exactly what I'm looking for. I have two ported JBL model... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @helomech thank you for your feedback. They are the one brand that I can't find a Chicago-area dealer for (have Borresen and Marten dealers relatively close and ATC in the city, and Dynaudio up north) and agree that at that price level I need to d... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @phusis thank you for that very helpful response. Playing in much lower price points, there has been fairly consistent buyers remorse from Studio 590 owners that move up to the HDI series (I stress not all, for some they believe it was well worth... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @jayctoy thanks for the update, can't wait to try them out myself. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @deep_333 @phusis -- I am curious, what is it about JBL that makes you not a fan? Definitely not trying to defend the brand -- I've been happy with my Studio 590s for their cost/value and love my 4305Ps. My biggest issue was the pricing jump fr... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @mbmi and @simonmoon thank you for your comments on the Borresens. I've done the measurements in my room vs the recommended spacing from the back wall and spacing between speakers and I think I can make them work. They have a dealer just north of... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @livinon2wheels have you heard other models in the Heritage line? I heard the La Scalas for a moment and they were surreal, could not spend more time with them bc some guy kept fiddling with the Mcintosh amp that was driving them. I was amazed by ... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Thanks for the feedback on Borresen -- I love their design but they are larger than my other options and worry they may overwhelm the room (although in reviews they are noted to sound great at low volumes). I'll look for that sound signature when... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Once I heard and owned ribbons (1984 to present) I could never settle for anything else for mid-bass to high treble reproduction. That's not the first time I've read a post like this @classicalpiano ;) Thank you for your response. It's the big... |
