WEll I can get a hint , Fostex FR has a bit of shouty-iness, some spikes in certain fq's.
I hear no such shouty in the DLVX8.
For me YT , if you hear enough videos , you can hint at how tonal a speaker voices.
Fostex will not replace my DLVX8's.
I guess you want me to list the things I don't like about how the DLVX voices,,as no speaker is perfect..
OK here's my list
1)....
2)...
3)...
and so on...
btw all my recent vids are with KT88's 4000++ hrs on them.
So the DLVX8 is not being juiced with brand new EH KT88's, which could/might add even more on top end.
Just keep that in mind.
I pulled the paper tweet.
Great for jazz, not for complex orchestra.
But then again,, the breakup in the paper tweet , just might be the KT88's breaking up in certain violin passages of the Schnittke/Kremer/Eschenbach/Teldec, also the Teldec recording might not have some issues in the upper registers.
As we know classical recordings are not hifi quality.
So again, all factors need to be considered when reviewing any speaker.
Tube life?
Quality of recording?
small rm size/mid SPL/no room treatment?
All things considered the DLVX8 ain't too shabby a speaker.
Jazz fans delight.
FR for R&R,, highly not recommended. HT purposes, not recommended.
FR is best for classical genre, almost a must have
Jazz fans will be ~~utterly~ thrilled and delighted with a FR 's magic.
Fostex has issues with some of its drivers in shouty-iness, peaky fq.s
