Excellent bass timing which lines up with the midrange and treble. 50 Hz is about the lower limit in your room and the 60-70 Hz room mode is audible but not overwhelming. There is a bit of blurring in the upper midrange which Danny could probably eliminate with better crossover design and parts if he could ever open them! That's the only problem I can hear. They have a notable lack of coloration, blurring, and distortion elsewhere and I agree with your endorsement. They articulate nearly as well as horns without the shout.

Yes Ron, I heard of Adorama and been on their site. Impessive. You like (another tube?) cool. Your review of the Triangle Borea Bro 8 has me wanting to demo them at a local dealer. I just demoed the Fyne Audio F502 (2500/pair){and due to hear the F502SP (5000/pair)}. If you get an opportunity to review I would be very curious of your POV. I can only hope you do before I make up my decision (knowing very well that it is ultimately up to what my ears like, but still I value your observations because it is very educational). BTW, the Fyne I believe is started by a group of people who were part of Tannoy Audio. The Fyne has a concentric tweeter compression driver...so cool. Stay Healthy.

@markd4292 2 жыл бұрын

@@oslius Hey. Gosh I haven't been on this site for a bit. Just saw your reply. I am down to two speakers: Klipsch Forte IV and KLH Model 5. For sake of budget, I would go for the Model 5, but I am not sure if my Mitsubishi DAA15DC amp will be able to power them, given their low nominal impedance of 3.5 ohms. The Forte IV, I have no concerns with because they are so sensitive. The KLH is sensitive too, coming in at 90.5 dB but they have a minimal 6 ohm load, and like I said, go down to a low 3.5 ohm. I don't know. I am reaching out to people who perhaps own or have owned this amp to get their two cents but have not heard back from anyone yet. If you know anything about this amp, please let me know? My plan is to use this amp for as long as I can while I gradually add/improve on my front-end gear. Thanks and stay well

Ron, please get your hands on a pair of JBL Stage 190's - not because I'm a JBL fan, certainly not because I like horn loaded drivers (tweeter in this case), but because sometimes they are priced below $800/pair. They have a few comments here and there that they are neutral, dynamic and have an expansive soundstage (in width, probably not in depth)....but still, a full size sub $800 (on sale) towers with the Ron "seal - of - approval" would get them in my home theater room. I said H.T. room, not 2-channel hi-res stereo only room.

What i would like to see is a pair of studio monitors , active ones ,any will do . Placed there to stay as a Reference . When you can A/B stuff you can do much better analysis . There are such channels that do that for Studio monitors , compering numerous monitors . But no so much with Hi Fi And before someone says , but hay you cant translate that properly with microphones . Cool , i agree but you can get a general idea . But you need a reference, and that is why i say a pair of studio monitors as comparison would be nice . Just so that you can see how good is it , maybe its not better then a studio monitor or maybe its better.

I ordered one pair of these in about two months ago. After 80 hours run in, I decide to return them. Mid-bass (around 60 Hz-100 Hz) is boosted in order to get better bass extension in their design. Unfortunately, it is so much boosted and affects the tonality balance. In some music, the mid-bass even dominates and masks the mid-range, rendering unpleasant booming lower end sound. Like Ron said, they are details centric speakers but the mid-bass to bass performance just ... sucks. Very disappointed.
