Nice! Well done.
list of speakers
My quest which I started three years ago to find my dream speakers resulted in a lot of lists and comparisons. It occurred to me that I had not seen a comprehensive, free and user-friendly databases of loudspeakers and maybe there should be one. Maybe others would find it useful (although no one is as OCD with lists as I am :) )
Others - meaning my kind - budget, beginner, not advanced audiophiles like you guys. So it may not mean much to you but still, any feedback would be appreciated.
I know it's amateurish - my design skills suck, the only value in it is the data and possibly the search and comparison features.
Last but not least, and I won't name names not to exclude anyone, thank you people for helping me to put together this web site, with direct feedback and advice over the years about how to find the ideal gear. Several of you also gave me awesome components for which I will be forever grateful. Thank you fellow members!

What a great list. The sorting ability is huge. Thank you. with a little publicity, some work to make it more complete, you can monitize it and do pretty well I would think. The suggestion to add ratings has been made and is a double edged sword. It will cause tremendous controversy and lots of work for you. O’TOH, if you monitize it ratings will gather a lot of clicks. If you crowdsource ratings you will get positives from owners (almost always) and negatives from sour grapers and trolls....there will be a tremendouse amount of work policing and managing arguments. Maybe you’ve made some omissions, and maybe this isn’t the area you focus on, but this list shows how few good speakers there are for the SET crowd, i.e., sensitivity of 95 and above. Thans for your work and best of luck however you move forward. I have bookmarked the page. Jerry |
@jperry I think it’s a great idea, thank you, I am moving it the top of my list. It would make it very easy for me. I thought of two more flags, "discontinued" and "new" which then the manufacturers could give me too. I did reach out to a lot of them to get or clarify data. At that point I had nothing to show. Out of 20 (repeated) requests, I received 2 responses. Hopefully it would be different this time. @waytoomuchstuff we all win :) @thecarpathian I will start with geography/maps which is part of my day job. I am still too dumb about which measurements really matter. All your suggestions are added to my todo my list :) @carlsbad2 I agree with you, ratings can be a pain. But my biggest concern is that without critical mass, it will be more confusing than valuable. It would also be counterproductive to my goal (I think) because it would further popularize the best selling models and "leave" the unknowns behind. My goal is to show the breadth of options and thereby help the "little guy" - to give choices besides the "Toyotas and BMWs"
