I am wondering...Is there a speaker that will get quite loud (almost concert level volume) but still have soft smooth highs at higher volumes than most home audio speakers?
I ask because I am looking for some speakers that will kick butt. I want to feel the music but I do not want to have ice picks driven through my ears.
At this point I have not looked into most of the other speaker manufacturers you have mentioned but I will be doing so in the next few days. ATC sounds interesting.
Horns tend to be too bright for me in stereo speakers. I have heard some of the new Klipsch speakers and are not impressed by them at all.
Find a pair of Dick Sequerra's Metronome 7.7's: (http://www.sequerra.com/electronics/data/index.htm)(http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_detail.cfm?Title_ID=36370) These small monitors sound good at low inputs yet will remain very linear/undistorted at high volume levels(wide dynamic range). Worth the search whether you shop new or used. Look(used)for the Mk4's or 5's and you can't go wrong.
