Is there a list of full-range speakers (20-20kHz) somewhere on the internet?


When I internet-search for such a list, all I get is hits for full-range drivers. While a full-range driver that results in a full-range speaker could be excellent (provided everything else was in order), what I'm looking for are full-range speakers. These are likely to be floor-standing towers - but not necessarily towers.

Some examples:
GoldenEar Triton One (and I think Triton Reference and maybe Triton One.R
Tekton Double Impact (and above)

Looking for best value with 20-20kHz (flat-as-possible) response. I suspect there is a resource for this somewhere on the internet - thanks!

Try the Omega high output Alnico or 8 inch speakers. The speakers are configured to use a single full range driver and then a second identical driver cut off with a low pass filter around 200 HZ. I love these because you get the benefit of full range coherency with additional bass and dynamics coming from the second driver. Because that second driver is identical, you don’t lose the cohesion.

There is a pretty comprehensive list of the speakers and their corresponding review scores at Gauder Akustik website. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, there are two PDFs.

Yeah! It's called the Audiogon marketplace. There are plenty of promising full-range speakers in good condition around $5k. 

IME full range speakers that sound good start at around $8K. That's being generous. What's your budget?

Audiogon has a nice looking pair of YG Acoustic Vantage speakera foe sale at $22k and some YG Haileys.

They are both excellent speakers

erik_squires,

how do you find the golden ear tweeter glaring? AMTs aren't known for that they're usually very clear and smooth and accurate sounding.

Not one  of the chart mentioned above will do a true 20 hz in room or even close .

and please remember the higher the spl level even more less likely 

bass even at 25 hz which btw anything below 28 hz is low HZ vibration. Or rumble 

a concert grand piano is around maybe 28 hz , these low frequencies low off very fast and the spl is not sustained , in fact less then 4% of music at most is even recorded even  at 30 hz , if you can get bass at 30 hz thsts not rolled off steeply 

then Thst is very good . A high quality powered sub like the JL Audio Fathom line 

have great Bass room correction and will play mid to low 20 hz region 

Punch in the chest Bass .

I’ve owned several pairs of Tekton speakers and I know that I can’t compete or surpass them in low end output. I’ve been working on my speaker project for over three years now. It’s called blueprintacoustic.com. We’ve just started a new ambassador program. We’re looking to build speakers along with their owners on a semi custom level. If you have some time please check us out. I’m retired and that’s all I do now. 

Let me chime in here ,being 40 years in audio ,and owning a Audio store for almost 10 years.  There is No standard on true specifications , if for instance the speaker gets to 28 hz for a fraction of a second at 90 db  they will specify this .

playing bass to a constant  SPL is the hardest thing to do ,bass starts falling off fast 

you will not get a speaker That can do a honest 20khz to 20 hz  

continuous unless you have $$ deep pockets . Having no Set standards there are many ways to stretch the truth  . You want to see true graphs and waterfall plots 

for a sustained time ,but almost never due , plan on spending at least $30 k on up 

to companies you can trust.

According to Stereophile Magazine, the GE Triton Reference is the least expensive full range speaker. They are rated A+ as well.   I have owned my set since 2017 and they are my last speakers.  The speakers are not bright at all, the tweeter is smooth, with absolutely no ear fatigue. 

There used to be, years ago the Audio Magazine's Annual Equipment / Buyers Guide. Has specs., prices, weights and dimensions of all different types of components and brands. Always looked forward to that edition and I think I still have an issue or two around here somewhere.

From ChatGPT (Data current to 2022):

 

While I don’t have access to an up-to-date list of specific speaker models, I can provide you with some general information. There are various full-range speakers available on the market that claim to cover a frequency range from 20Hz to 20kHz. Here are a few examples of well-regarded full-range speaker brands:

1. Klipsch
2. JBL
3. ELAC
4. KEF
5. Focal
6. Polk Audio
7. Wharfedale
8. Bowers & Wilkins (B&W)
9. Monitor Audio
10. Paradigm

It’s important to note that the performance and frequency response of speakers can vary even within the same brand, so it’s recommended to review specific product specifications or consult professional audio experts for the most accurate and up-to-date information on full-range speakers that meet your specific requirements.

PS - A better way to go is to buy floor standers you like and augment with room treatment and subs if needed.

Also, I personally hate Golden Ear.  I find the tweeters glaring, but clearly I am in the minority. :)

I don’t know of any, but speaker measurements have almost nothing to do with how they will perform in your room below 200 Hz. Getting to flat, deep in-room performance has a lot more to do with room treatment, EQ and placement than buying big speakers.

You are also forgetting about dispersion, compression and power handling.
