What speakers work best with electronic music?
09-08-13: Soix Using a simaudio 340i integrated, but that'll likely be going along with the 160's. New speakers will get new amplification. |
Which speakers under $15,000 (used or new) should I be looking at it that will be able reproduce the complicated nature of a lot of electronic music with ease; something that just has jaw-dropping dynamic range?I'm sure this speaker will do just that, and not leave you wanting for anything.

I also listen to a lot of electronic music and would recommend augmenting whichever speakers you end up purchasing with a high quality sub, possibly even two if your listening space is large. This generally allows the low frequency foundation of electronica to be reproduced more faithfully than with speakers alone. It also frees the main speakers to sort out the often complex mix of sounds in the mid and high frequency ranges to the best of their ability without the added burden of trying to reproduce extreme low frequency signals. |
I'm a big electronica fan also and yes you want a speaker with very good dynamics and bass. My two favorites are the Zu Definitions and the Tekton Pendragons for electronica. If you're in the bay area PM me for a demo. I do believe horns with subs would work great, as the best club (sound wise) in San Francisco is called Monarch. Google it and check out their horns. It's really a great system. |
This is a job for... high quality waveguides or horns with high quality compression drivers, high quality prosound woofers, well designed crossovers, and possibly a distributed multisub system. Designed to be loafing along at 10% of its rated power handling on whatever your anticipated peaks are, thus ensuring negligible thermal modulation and negligible thermal or mechanical compression. Possible contenders include Classic Audio Reproductions, GedLee, PiSpeakers, JBL, Edgarhorn, and yours truly. Duke dealer/manufacturer |
