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.

Several speakers have tweeter attenuators, among them the Magnepan 3.6s. With some speakers you can bi-amp, and then you can put small resistors in-line with the tweeter section.

Also, for 'loud' listening sessions maybe just put a washcloth or sound absorbing foam in front of your tweeter! Of course that wouldn't work on these:

It is actually really easy to dampen high frequency noise.

You could even just use cables that tame brightness. Lots of cables can do that.
