Will the dealer allow you to take both the smaller and the larger speakers home and judge for yourself?
Your current speakers must be a pretty high hurdle for any speaker to surpass.
Can you have too much speaker presence?
My dealer says I’d lose too much speaker presence if I went to a smaller speaker. I’m not posting the speaker in question solely because I don’t want this to become an attack on them. I get it, presence means there and in the area, but can too much become and issue, especially when it is centered in a specific frequency range?
That’s not true a great stand mount have better imaging and excellent soundstaging and depth, just add a quality powered sub . look at the MBL 126a world class monitor that's also omni directional and excellent off axis . I don’t know how good your electronics are, or front end this too has a lot to do with the final outcome , your dac can be just as important as your speakers since all music starts at your front end turntable included. |
Is the dealer making his statement from a point of knowing the rest of your system?@baylinor mentioned his presence grew with his bigger speakers. I can attest that when I made a major DAC upgrade it was like my speakers were twice as large or they had a much larger presence in my room. Do maybe he is making his call on your system as a whole and no the speakers alone. |
