2. speakers

Looking for my Final Pair!!

Been through the high end maelstrom for over 30 years and although I have enjoyed the ride, I desperately want to find speakers that exude dynamics, tone and presence.  I want to be transported to the Village Vanguard where The John Coltrane Quartet are performing any night I desire.  I want to feel the timbre of his sax 🎷. When I close my eyes I want to be enveloped by the atmosphere of the space and awash with the impact and emotion being expressed by the musicians.  I don’t want to hear what the engineers hear after they mix a recording...I want to be in the studio when the tracks are being laid down!  So far, Tannoy Heritage Arden have come to my attention, Klipsch Cornwall IV’s, JBL S4700’s or perhaps Spatial Audio X3’s?  Help

Trying to cancel it via message...was to ship Monday!  If I get the BAT I guess I should listen to it a bit as I will have to pay return shipping 😳

I would listen to it for sure. It shouldn't be hard to beat that Krell.

I’ve heard just about all the best solid state and the new Krell tops them all short of D’Agostinos Momentum amps!

I can say this, if there are any limitations to these speakers being able to deliver an authentic re creation of a musical source, it would only be the room or amplification and source!  Get the match right and you will be in audio heaven!

Dear @dave_b  : "  it would only be the room or amplification and source!   "

Mainly the source and room. The whole recording proccess is critical followed by the source medium: digital or analog.

Room/speaker must be mated and if not then colorations/distortions will be mainly what we will be listening at.

I let amplification at last due that are only two main characteristics that needs to be well mated with the speakers: impedance curve and sensitivity of the speakers and that's all.

The function of any amplifier is to let pass the MUSIC signal with out added " anomalies " to the MUSIC signal and with out lost of any part of that MUSIC signal.
If the amp changes those then those " anamalies " only says the quality level of that amplifier: as more color the worst the amp is.
Electronics must be accurated not analytical but working and measuring with accuracy.

From those point of view SS are the electronics that meets those targets. Again I'm not talking of what we like but what is rigth or wrong.

Btw, @audiopacer:

"""   I have my suspicions even he doesn't know what he's saying """

It's easy to make critics with out explain the foundations of those critics.

Please tell me why I do not know what I'm saying and remember that we are talking of home reproduction MUSIC recordings and not Live MUSIC that however must be our reference.
