Seems like the Speaker shootout at the OK Corral i started wayyy back in 2001? has not been settled.
This topid is now
Speaker Shootout Part 2.
WE've all come alonggg way since then.
It was simply amazing how the single Diatone 6.5 driver blew away the Seas Thor, all due to one tiny characteristic specification.
~~Sensitivity~~.
This to me is critical , all important ingredient when conisderinga speaker, Test/charts, I am not the least bit interested.
The Diatone/Vifa might have peaks and valleys, all over the chart, off axis, etc.
I am not even the least interested.
If speaker A sounds superior to speaker B, thats all that counts, But then we must consider the listener's ears, = what exactly is he looking for.
as Mentioned by larryi above.
It all comes down to ,,well yes and no, If any audiophile can honestly say the Thors sound superior to the Diatone 6.5, I question his ability to hear, or he may need a hearing aid,
Juts seems to me, the new developments in single point source/FR drivers over the past 10 years, has resulted in significant gains in high fidelity resolution.
This is the purpose to this topic. To shed light on the new FR technology as the true champion, the king of all speaker designs. 2nd to none.
Now we need to explore what amplification is allowed to be matched to these new single source drivers.
ZSeems the SET amplification has been officially coveted as the only amplification for the task.
But there are draw backs with the SETs. They do not produce music likea PP can in certain complex, hard driven signals.
They can get overwhelmed witha single 845 trying to master all the complexities thrown its way.
PP has the muscle to channel all that high voltage music.
