It’s hard to get good bass in a speaker for under 15k at least
this is why I come here
On the subject, not a meaningful question, there are 1000 of speakers, different designs, prices. If I had 10 criteria to go by, 2 or 3 way would be down my list.
What type of speaker would sound better?
1. mid-tier 3 way with multiple lower quality drivers and parts OR
2. High end 2-way with premium crossover parts and speaker drivers.
Either one could be a stand mount, small tower, or anything in between.
For example you listen to a well recorded symphony in a 15 X 30 living room. You have 250w @ 8ohms. You start on a mid tier 3-way and then on a high end 2-way system, which do you think would sound better?
@bjesien lol what? It is not hard to get good bass in a speaker under $15,000. What bass lite speakers have you been listening to? Cos I can list speakers that do 20 to 20kHz under $15,000 |
@kofibaffour #1 Plenty of speakers put out plenty of bass for a fraction of that cost. Higher end speakers have a lot of attention/money go into the cabinet design to make it attractive to the buyer. This expensive appearance doesn’t really do anything to make the speaker sound better. |
Clearly several people responding have no clue about bass. I have Emerald Physics 3.0s (2 way 12" open baffle- super efficient) in a large room and get ample bass. If I wanted more I could add 1-2 subs, but that only complicates overall sound reproduction. Also, look to amp preamp, dac, and/or source, cables... |
