best speakers for vocals?

YOu would love horn speakers.
Aside from the modern horn speakers,
Highly recommend the vintage Jensen G and CX and EV TRXB coaxial speakers from the late 50s to early 60s.
Very sweet highs and good bass too.
The only thing you should keep in mind is build your own or finding the cabinet for these timeless drivers.

Tboooe,

There is at least one electrostat that goes pretty deep in the bass.

I have several customers who have measured their SoundLab A-1 or M-1 speakers as having an in-room -3 dB point somewhere in the lower 20's (lower than the factory claims), and I've witnessed similar measurements. I would say their tonal balance is on the warmish side - their frequency response is gently downward-sloping rather than being "flat". But, they are quite large - no getting around that one. When I wrote to you I didn't realize size was an issue.

Best of luck with your quest,

Duke

I second Merlin.

Pro Ac Response 3.8 is just like that... except for the front row.

Sonus Faber Extrema speakers have the most incredible (midrange) vocals you'll ever hear.
