I believe I mentioned the Helium2. I paid $400 for a mint pair.
The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf
I get it when I hear some speakers like Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary, they are musical, detailed, but not on extreme dynamic, it can go pretty low and loud, but still lack a bit more powerful punch. My next aim for powerful speakers, will be something near perfect immune to distortions, must be extreme dynamic, go very loud and does not make the sound quality collapsed, also I insist to stick with bookshelf size, few options in my mind:
Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1 (with NrT upgrade, worth?)
Mark&Daniel Ruby
Dynaudio DM 2/8
Proac Response D2
Soundfield Audio Monitor 1
For Dynaudio and Mark&Daniel, I have concern on power and drive efficiency, though I'm using a Class D Audio SDS-400C power amp, it work damn good with my Denton (warm + transparent gear goes really well). My considerations based on factors in this order: price, near full range dynamic, neutral and transparent sonic quality, availability (as I'm from Malaysia, not easy to achieve those speakers), and last your opinions? Any other recommendations? Once again, I'm not looking for speakers with colorations, must extremely dynamic, dead neatral and transparent without snake oil!

I believe the Rio is available factory-direct as well (I could be mistaken here??). Here's their webpage: http://greenmountainaudio.com/rio/ |
Bombaywalla: Thanks. Wow, it seems the names appear quite frequent in the forum, though I'm hesitate to buy, they looks so small, as low as 50hz, maybe not low enough? Also price seem not so friendly, must be worth because of the unique material and technology, but I have to say I don't like the outlook, so ugly? At least should make it more standard look? Any other recommendations? |
