If a "natural" sound is what you are after the Harbeth's are going to be very hard to beat. You will need to take a look at electrostatic or planer speakers but should be prepared for the many trade offs associated with those designs. They may get you closer but at a cost. The only other dynamic speaker that I have found that sounds as "natural" as the Harbeth's are those from Daedalus Audio. I went from Harbeth to Daedalus years ago and have never looked back--super "natural" sounding and damn pretty to look at.
In search for speakers of "natural" sound
Hello,
I am using a pair of Harbeth speakers. However, I am not satisfied with the 'naturalness' of the sound (it could be that I am so demanding). I am looking for a pair of speakers that can produce the more natural and organic sound than Harbeth if there is any.
I know that it depends on the amp, cables, and other variables. However, let's assume that with the appropriate gears, which speakers do you think can produce the "most natural sound"? By "natural", I mean the sound that we hear directly from musical instruments, from the singer without going through any amplification.
There is a user mentioning that speakers from the past used that 'natural sound' as a reference when designed speakers. In contrast, the sound today (even the hi-end one) is to "hi-fi". He guessed it could be less people have chance to listen to live / acoustic music than before.
Is it right?
Thank you for your experience and recommendation!
Best,
Huy.
P.S: I know that my questions are silly and dumb, please bear with me.

Hi i have owned many high end speakers from Avalon,Genesis,Proac etc. i recently saw and read some comments on this website about a speaker by the name of Usher Mini Dancer ll with Diamond tweeters i read a lot of great reviews and decided to buy a pair and to my surprise probably the best pair I have owned so far. very natural and life like. Give it a try. |
Consider KEF Blade II loudspeakers with VAC amplification (at any price level).......remarkably natural sound and soundstage! .....near totally removed from the loudspeakers. Some great suggestions above as well. If you prefer a solid state amplifier, Clayton Audio matched with a VAC mk5 Preamplifier is a very close second with the Blade II. Enjoy! |
