There’s more than one way to skin a cat. And a whole lot of ways to design a speaker. If it isn’t implemented well any of them can have problems. Don’t get too hung up on how a thing is done. Focus more on what you like about the results. There are advocates of every type of speaker design ever made. I had 2 ways on stands for a decade, then 3 way floor standers for 2 more, and now I have Zu which would technically be a 1-1/2 way (full range with super tweeter). I’ve avoided planer, electrostatic, and open baffle so far because of back wall space constraints. |
I’m two months into my ownership of KEF LS50s. Only a fool would be in a hurry to replace those speakers. I am that fool. One of these is not like the others. Take your time. Gain listening experience. Expand your knowledge base. Like, speakers are only one small part of a system in which every component matters. Learn things like, principles that tend to rule can sometimes be broken. Study my system and see. A general rule, the more of something the lower the quality and the worse the result. This rules for HT, where 7 speakers never sounds as good as two. But sometimes other more important principles are at play and then you get a Tekton with 14 tweeters working like one 9" driver producing the best midrange in the most seamless sound you ever heard. A passive radiator is another version of a port. You have much to learn. Narrow it down. Focus. |
I'd recommend keeping a speaker for at least 6 months to learn from it unless you just don't like it and don't listen to it. For me this amount of time allows me to hear other speakers and identify sharp contrasts. YMMV. Do some reading about efficiency otherwise you everytime you sell a speaker you might need a different amp. If anyone here recommends a speaker that you will love, they are likely in transition or just confused about things emotionally- be careful. Watch addiction, it can happen just like anywhere else in life and can be costly and unfulfilling. Learn about sound waves and reflection points. If your room isn't perfect you can easily spend lots of money with little return- at least know what are getting into. Enjoy the process and diversify hobbies otherwise you could end up fat and sitting on the couch too much. Find out what kind of speakers Tammy has and report back. |
