I think this is quite subjective as we all perceive 'smoothness' differently, but my personal experience with the B & W 801 F's (original) is that they sound better at higher volume; and I never, never noted harshness or grating after hours of listening. The same MAY be true for the other 801 series, I can only speak for the 801F's (which I still own) and the 801 Series III which are easier to find, but more expensive. It is worth your while to search them out. Since you didn't mention your budget, I throw this out and can only give my 20 yrs of listening history.
Is there such a speaker...(loud but smooth)?
Hi all!
I am wondering...Is there a speaker that will get quite loud (almost concert level volume) but still have soft smooth highs at higher volumes than most home audio speakers?
I ask because I am looking for some speakers that will kick butt. I want to feel the music but I do not want to have ice picks driven through my ears.
