clfcarney29 posts05-21-2006 6:55pmThe downside of high sensitivity speakers had been that there were so few models available which were of high quality and low coloration.Over the last 5 years or so that has changed greatly.As you may be aware,there is something of a renaissance underway in older audio reproduction technologies,vinyl e.g..High sensitivity speakers have benefitted and there is a growing pool of high quality offerings out there.In fact many would argue that in terms of the assault on ultimate audio reproduction,high sensitivity designs lead the way.Dynamics are the key to lifelike reproduction and dynamics is what high semsitivity/efficiency designs are all about.
In general,high sensitivity designs are going to sound more lively,engaging and alive than lowish ones with complex crossovers.

clfcarney is posting these incredible insights in the future of things, right at the very initial pgase of the new high tech wide band designs.
UNREAL.
carney was on the cutting edge of what , he thought might take place in the near future,,but seems he was off by some 20 years.
The move away from xovers has not really begun yet.
Folks are still pondering what these things are, how they voice music, wide band still remains shrouded ina fog of mystery.
Will remain this way another 10 years.
Flat earthers take a while to come around.
Wow, someone chisel Carney's post in stone, place it at Audiogon's opening page.
Please.
