Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker?
What about Zu Audio speakers? Full range, 12 ohm/100 db efficient or so, no crossover, fast, dynamic, hi res, great soundstage, musical -- they design their speakers to revolve around the naturalness of the human voice and "live" sound I have a pair of the Bookshelf Zu’s, they are impressive. The Soul Supremes and Druids are even more impressive, they have the same to similar specs as above. Order direct with 60 day trial and full refund available. just sayin’ |
@zuio , several of your assumptions are patently false. High efficiency is only important for liveliness if you have a pea watt amplifier. Wide dispersion does not give you a wider sweat spot. It gives you much more room interaction which is never a good thing. To narrow is not good either. You want controlled dispersion like you get with horns and planar dipoles. As for coherence there is only one type of loudspeaker that specializes in coherence and that is the full range, one way electrostatic loudspeaker. |
you didn't specify efficiency but the Spendor D series are the best all around speakers I have heard for my system and ears. Impeccably coherent, real 90 db efficiency that sounds lively and fast and near horn like without the downsides and deep sub bass territory because of the long tuned flared bottom firing port that sounds akin to a transmission line design |
