To my ears, the be tweeter is way too forward, very fatiguing and bright. This may be the reason why a lot of owners use them with tubes in an attempt to tame the brightness. I much preferred the previous generation with the silk dome tweeter. IMHO, for the money you can do a lot better.
New speaker consideration - De Capo MM
Hi all,
I am in the market for a new pair of speakers.
my budget is around $3000, and I am looking for bookshelf speakers.
Right now, my primary interest is the De Capo MM bookshelf speakers which is handmade in Canada.
My system is MC352 power amp, MC220 preamp, Chord Qutest DAC, Audioquest cable, my room is 13"x13"x8".
I would like to know the characteristic of the speakers (De Capo) , and whether or they will be the right choice for my stereo system.
I mainly like holographic soundstage and a good, clear mid-range with a lot of high frequency resolution without fatiguing.

@yogiboy nailed it. Having a surplus of grunt to create more headroom is a good thing, and not a weakness or liability. As pointed out, the sonic signature of the speaker (new model with the beryllium tweeter) with the rest of your system is the synergy discussion point. The challenge is that the identical system in different listening arenas may sound very different because of the warts and compromises of the room acoustics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFuOxhxQ7Wo |
