which speaker is better suited for Rock and Roll
I started a blog a while back on speakers suited for rock and roll and the responses were great. Just to refresh, Listen to Rock only, 85 db to 90 or so. Somewhat small room 13x13' with doors at either end. (square room more or less) Amp that will be used Pass X250.8, good meitner DAC, Bricasti streamer, SVS SB 3000 sub, Benchmark LA-4 pre amp. Stream Qobuz through Audirvana. Current System with FRITZ carbon 7 SE Mk2 are Very Good. Keeping them regardless. Would like to see if I could jump up several rungs on the ladder (bigger sound stage, more clarity, more dynamic, etc) better MIDS and highs. Speakers that have been heard are Sonus Faber Guarneri (EXCELLENT, but EXPENSIVE) vs (haven't heard) Joseph AUDIO Graphene Pulsar, and Acora MRB (bookshelf) Marten Parker DUO, (haven't heard) but, most likely out of my price range unless used somewhere. The two top contenders are the Joseph audio pulsar vs The Sonus Faber Guarneri. If anyone has either or both or has heard them , would love to hear your opinions or suggestions, probably last speaker for my lifetime here. Thanks Robert TN
What Ralph said. It can be no other way. If you do research into the typical sound of a particular speaker design and drivers this can help. I find older JBLs (west coast sound) and most horns unlistenable. I have not heard enough of the new Klipsch and JBLs to comment. I have heard some heavily modified older Klipsch which were a significant improvement over stock, but still some of the less impressive horns I have heard.

"Best speaker for specific music genre" So we're supposed to have a stable of speakers on casters? You wheel in speaker A for R/R, speaker B for Classical, C for Jazz... Yeah, sounds about right. Throw in speaker cables too. Insert laughing emoji here. No wonder non hi fi music listeners think this is a weird hobby |
I listen to classic rock exclusively. Cannot Imagine no one mentioning JBL's here. Pick up an old pair of 4333 studio monitors or the home equivelent L-300 and have them refoamed , add the crossover chef's crossovers , make sure the speakers themselves are the originals. If it's affordable and you have the room the JBL 4343 is the absolute best. You have 250 RMS per channel which will drive them well. |
@llg98ljk I am not saying he hasn't reviewed and sold a lot of gear. He just has a very safe and lazy approach and if I watch him, all I come away with; "he has heard this piece of equipment". He has no substance. |
