The Graham Audio LS 5/9 will give you everything you are looking for, one can hear far into the recordings and follow different layers on the recordings but still hear everything as a hole, also you can listen for hours on end without getting fatigue, a fantastic speaker.
Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)
Anyone care to give their opinion on what dynamic speaker has the most detailed/revealing midrange? Not including electrostatics or planar speakers. Approximately between the frequencies of 400Hz to 3kHz. Also, just to clarify what I mean by detail: when there is a musical passage that entails many different layers of instruments, the speakers' ability to separate all the elements so all the instruments are heard clearly and nothing is obscured. Also the ability to retrieve every last bit of information on a recording, such as random sounds in the studio, distortion in recordings and reverb tails.
As far as price goes... 2 categories... below $12,000 USD (new) and any price range. Thanks.

@woofer72 you can get hundred feedback with suggestion,--My speakers which are using now is the best for detailed midrange. Try to find and listen . first-only 3 way loudspeakers , Midrange is preferable 8" or more with extended . wide range driver with no crossover in more critical region. We make this, If you close to NY or NJ you can get chance to listen |
Look for speakers that use drivers that are actually pistonic throughout the midrange (and treble, too). Price no object, Vandy 5 and 7mkii, as well as most of the Vivid Audio stuff. It is likely that the new Paradigms with the beryllium midrange are pistonic, but I'm not sure (and haven't heard them...they seem to bit a bit divisive based on comments I've seen here). |
It’s probably going to be a three way speaker, as the given two way speaker will have some minimal issues of some sort in the frequency range you specify. That the frequency range you specify is almost the exact full covered range of a given average three way’s midrange driver. It is also, for some basic acoustic and technical reasons.... the hardest part to get right. This is the big money range, where the mid driver, if done as best as possible.... might start to touch $1k or more in costs. It’s just plainly, a brutal set of incongruent requirements, a set of mechanical, magnetic, and electrical complexities where the pairing of that with acoustic issues, all fight against one another and individually within themselves. That’s a midrange driver. It makes tweeters and woofers look easy. And they’re not. How far did they have to go to get close? It’s a standard high end loudspeaker designer’s dilemma: Walking through the endless desert, begging, crying, looking for ---a perfect midrange driver. |
