| Best speaker brands for transient response @mtbiker29 @vthokie83 thank you this is great. I was worried especially about the Borresens that there were not local dealers for that brand--they feature Borresen on their website. I've got a few recommendations for Holm, too. And Libertyville is... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Is that transient response? Haha yes that is a good adjective to use ;) | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @yogiboy thank you for your recommendation. I had not heard of ATC until maybe a week ago and saw their models on Music Direct. It's not a crazy drive there after morning rush hour and will make the trip. Thanks again. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @mtbiker29 thank you for that recommendation -- he's in uptown and I'm west, that's a haul but worth it to hear those brands. I'll try to get up there on a Monday when traffic should be manageable. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @james633 Everything that comes from the 4367’s horn has snap and more inner texture. The notes are much more separated. The 590s horn is dull and splashy with no life in comparison. This has been my exact experience listening to my 590s af... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @vthokie83 thank you for your recommendation. They have a very JBL 4349/S3900 look/design to them which is very appealing because those were the models I felt were likely the best option for me at bigger price points. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @whoopycat thanks for the recommendation I have looked hard at the Unions and Union Supremes. They would fit the room very well and I love the look of them. The reviews are great. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Steve59 and Ozzy62 (Sabbath fan?) I agree too and have researched and demo'd McIntosh and Parasound. I have a dealer nearby for both so will be able to try both with my speaker purchase. I'm leaning strong toward Parasound but that could change b... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @calvinandhobbes thank you for your recommendation. The KLH 3 and 5 have often been described the same way in that they sound like horn speakers. And I thought that may be why I like them so much because my experience was only with JBL horns befo... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @helomech thanks I am getting a lot of Borresen recommendations and the X2 is in my price range. Only found a dealer in Jacksonville so far, long drive for a demo ;) I definitely need to research more. Also have gotten strong endorsements for Spe... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response This sounds about right: Yes that’s it. Thank you for posting that. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Interesting that most the OP's description of transients relate more to midrange and high frequencies, not bass. Correct -- this is something I look for in mids and highs, also it also applies to what may be described as "fast bass" at the cost... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response What is a transient response? I have not heard of that term before. This link gives a good overview to augment @helomech's explanation. https://www.hifireport.com/understanding-transient-response-in-audio-a-beginners-guide/?utm_content=cmp-true | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response That chiming strat guitar line is exactly what I'm talking about. Great song, great suggestion. Life is a compromise. Don’t make the mistake of giving up one desireable parameter for another. My goal here is to nail transients first, then on t... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @james633 thank you for the heads up, I'll see if I can get a sale price out of them. I've heard from other chatter on forums that they can be purchased for around $7,500/pr if you shop around. |
