I listened to the big Decade at AKfest, powered by Jolida, and would not characterize the speaker as lean. I thought it had ample bass, if a bit wooly, but what I think it did have a glaring upper midrange, lower treble which made it a little difficult to listen to on material which contained a lot of energy in that region. An AK member was using Tyler Decade speakers lower in the product line which I thought more listenable. As I recall, they were powered by Grant.
Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice?
This past weekend I went to Karma Fest in Livonia, Michigan, and saw so many beautiful speakers in the Salk Signature Sound, I didn't know where to start. Since I live quite close to the company, I'll head up there for a private audition. However, after going through the A'gon threads addressing Salk speakers, I still don't have a real idea as to what they sound like - how they make music.
So, for those of you who know (and hopefully own), Salk speakers, what is the "signature sound" of these beauties? I know what to pretty much expect from a Harbeth, Spendor, Thiel, etc. but what might I expect from Salk?
The impression I got from some threads is that Salks are on the detailed, transient (leading edge of the notes), and cool side of things, as opposed to, say, Harbeth, which are on the warm and full (body of the notes) side of things.
Thanks in advance, guys and gals.
