Speakers that accurately reproduce a drumset

Go audition the new Paradigm Signature S8's. I listend to them w/ the Shefield Labs Drum & Track cd and was highly impressed.

After listening to the horn setup certainly you realize that drumsets sound fast as the lightspeed but after auditioning for 15 min you realize that jingle in your ears stays much more than you've listened to the music. Such sonical residue may turn out as distortion in further listening.:-)

The best loudspeakers I have heard for drumkit is the Classic Audio Reproductions Hartsfield, a 3-way corner horn. I've heard a lot of other fine speakers (including several mentioned in this thread), but the CAR Hartsfields came the closest to getting the combination of dynamics, pitch definition, richness of timbre, and (last but not least) visceral impact of a drum kit correct. There are others that go deeper, but don't sound as natural - they don't get the tone right. Nope, I don't sell 'em.

Duke

Hey Duke. Good call,mesmerizing really. Unbelievable impact and scale on a full drum kit! not to mention the big Klipch corner horn,and the incredible Tannoy Westminster.

Anything with a HEIL air motion transformer in it.
