Back to the OP's all important Q.
This topic is the #1 topic of importance in all Audiogon at the moment, In fact I'd say this discussion is THE SINGLE most critical Q in all Audiogon's history as a all thing Audio Discussion forum.
So we are speaking of the only thing which makes a system True High Fidelity as defined by Philips Labs and that which lowers our systems to **mid fidelity** which really translates as anti-highfidelity .Which is really NOT fidelity and is what we all want to avoid.
Seas Excel are high fidelity,
There's no arguing that point.
But at under 90db?
nah, not my cup of tea, when there are WBers with same high fidelity at 90++ db sensitivity to be had.
Jadis stellar amplification connected to a Bose will only result in Mid Fidelity = anti-fidelity -= junk sound.
Speakers is THE component which determines whethera system is high fidelity or the OPPOSITE *mid* Fidelity.
There is really only 2 camps.
Is the speaker suffering resonances in the upper bass/low mids?
If the answer is
YES
Then no amount of high end caps will fix the drivers handicaps, Its crippled, has laryngitis, thus the Tenors notes are coughy, the bass guitar /drums have upper bass fq/low mid fq's agitations.
Here is where all the coloration/distortions can be found as the culprit.
Midwoofers cone material. Also magnet size/type has some influences.
Cone material is the main culprit to lousey upper bass/low midrange.
Next we have a tiny VC tweeter attempting to sing low mids, under 2500hz.
Its acceptable as per Troels testing.
But a tweeter 2khz-3200hz vs a WBers' 2khz-3200hz. , Ridicuolous
Tweeters have lower than 90db sens vs a WBers 90++ sensitivity.
Complete total annihilation. Due to 2 factors
WBer has a much larger voice coil/whizzer + higher sensitivity.
Championship wrestling smackdown.
This topic is
The most important topi9c, ever on all Audiogon, past , present and future.
Its ABOUT! D*** Time we get to the bottom of this issue.
Lets pretend this problem does not exist.
Lets play hide and seek.
Lets ignore the facts.
Sorry game over folks.
The WBer team won, walkoff grand slam. Bottom 9th, 2 outs, 2 strikes.
WBers reign as King Tenor Queen Soprano.
No design can approach the WBers stellar performance. Not a horn, not a panel, not a ESL.
And especially *that other design** can't approach a high end WBer.
Caveat, we will need midwoofers/tweeters.
