Two of the main reasons you can instantly tell two acoustic instruments apart playing the same tone is by their attack and decay. Do you think all speaker material produces tone in the same way?...and then reverberates that tone with the same harmonic overtones? Specs would never be able to capture that.
Buying Speakers Based on Specs
Hi,
Is it a good idea to buy a pair of speakers based on specification? Currently I have a pair of Paradigm Prestige 75F and I wish it had a little bit more bass. The frequency response is 44 Hz - 20 kHz.
I am eyeing the Spendor D7 which has a frequency response of 29Hz – 25kHz or the PMC Twenty5.24 with frequency resp. of 27Hz - 25kHz. Based on the specs, these 2 speakers should give me more bass response, right?
I know, I know....audition the speakers in my home. But the problem the dealers in my city does not have in-home trials.
Thoughts?
