Kzhtoo -- (I have not heard these, but from what I've read they're highly intriguing) They may not be cheap($18,000/pair), but the OMA Mini's seem to fit the bill: http://www.oswaldsmillaudio.com/Products/Mini.html Excerpt from a review, of sorts: ... When I heard the Minis, the first thing that overwhelmed me was how BIG they sounded. The music had so much body, flesh and bones. Even the music which called for pianissimo had a believable corporeality to it, whereas lesser speakers would make do with wisps and innuendos substituting for pianissimo: people forget that the test of really great speakers capable of true dynamics can be gauged by how they handle the quiet passages. Either with gossamer-like strands of woodwind playing sotto voce or with the tutti scaling the crescendo in full tilt, the Minis effortlessly flooded the room with the sound of the music. http://oswaldsmillaudio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=359.0 From Stereophile's 'Art Dudley Listening:' http://www.stereophile.com/content/listening-117 Moreover, you got the added benefit of a higher-then-average sensitivity(95dB) and, by all accounts, dynamic capabilities that will leave smaller, typical hifi-"monitors" far behind. |
Hi all, Thanks for all the inputs. I decided to go with C1 Sigs and they have so far exceeded my expectation (sound big with "real bass"). :) At the moment, I have my sub dialed in at about 45Hz where C1s supposedly rolls off (as opposed to my previous set up - the sub kicks in around 80Hz to get any type of bass). I will do a frequency sweep on C1s, hopefully this weekend, to account for room response to find out exactly where the sub crossover should be set. Best, |
