British sound???

If I were to attempt to recreate the classic BBC british sound thru my EQ (just for fun), what settings?

Maybe find a review of one somewhere that gives the frequency response like Sterephile does when they test a speaker. Duplicate their readout. Don't forget, any coloration's your own have would be added also, in this experiment.

Naim, Linn, Exposure are good examples for British electronics. plenty of PRAT, natural mid-range with little emphasis on the deep bass or sound stage.

Aberyclark, I forgot to say, it would still be hard to picture the mids they're famous for, trying the EQ experiment.

Read Robert E. Green's review of the Spendor 1/2 or Harbeth Compact 7 speakers. This should give you a pretty good idea of the British sound.

You can find the reviews here:

Spendor 1/2

Harbeth Compact 7

Just listening to my newly acquired Spendor 1/2s, and the British sound can be summed up with one word: Good.
