2, Which speakers to exhibit in audio show?

Over my phone I enjoyed #1 it seemed to present the vocals and piano better. I could really hear the piano overtone.

Im

with rwbadley,

the hissing is constant and kinda ruins it.

If I had to choose I would say the 2nd video although it’s music that likely has never played in my home.

2nd video kind of, but both have problems (more).

Difficult to judge "on a whole" from a Youtube source with your videos as I've never listened to your speakers in person.

However, with speakers/drivers I'm familiar with (and with well, IMO, recorded videos) I am more able to judge such (on a whole - which is not what I understand you are asking about).

I have been using vintage wide band single drivers for the past 20 years, so have a bit of a grip on what you have been working at.

I once considered purchasing a pair of SMGA's that you advertised locally (I'm in West Hollywood).

I didn't go for the SMGA's (owned a pair before) because we had recently acquired a ferocious feral male cat, otherwise I would have contacted you.

A few weeks later we acquired a ferocious feral female Orange cat, so I'm doubly grateful that I did not respond to your ad.

Anyway, good luck with the show.

Whichever speaker you choose, don’t use that track to demo them. Something is terribly wrong there. If you can hear that hiss while in your listening room,  either that recording is sub par, or you have system issues. Surely you don’t hear that with all playback?

#1 sounds can be bit lean but with right materials, #1 speakers are very nice.

Thank you for the detailed comment!
