Maggie Thatcher and Brian Wilson?
That's scary.
Offspring Freakshow.

What would happen if Maggie and Wilson Mated?
What speaker would they conceive if they mated and got a perfect mix of DNA from both sides?
From her (Maggie 20.1): it would have a Big, Open wide sound stage. Great midrange and highs and lifelike presence. Delicacy and manners...
From him (Wilson Maxx 3): It would have slam and dynamics when called upon. Authority, muscle and control.
Ultimately, the offspring would have the best qualities from both sides of the family and the coherence to blend the two.
What speaker would this be? Does it exsist today?
Closest I ever heard were the Apogee Studio Grands (RIP) powered by a pair of Krell 300S and a Audio Research tube preamp.

In a nutshell designers have been struggling with this for years. ATC are recognized for combining BOTH dynamic range and high performance. I agree Wilson or Maggies don't do both. See article In particular "The idea for the soft dome goes back to my days as a young engineer and student trying to find a solution to the problem of combining high performance and large dynamic range. At the time, Britain was well known for producing loudspeakers of excellent acoustic performance but with limited dynamic range (Quad ESL63, Rogers LS3-5A etc.) and the US for loudspeakers that would play very loud but at the expense of acoustic performance" |
