Well formulated, I also like your initial post, recognisable problem.
I've got Dynaudio speakers; insensitve but very good tonality, not too much PRaT.
My Shure E4s are the other way around; not a perfect tonal balance, but the music flows like it was intended.
I do not know why, but sometimes it seems to me we have to choose between hard-to-drive tonal correctness or speed and musicality.
I also noticed more PRaT seems to coincidence with a certain mid/mid-high forwardness.
Why?
edit: "speaker-like" has always been way too broad for me to understand, there are 88db (in)efficient speakers that need 200 watt monos to drive properly and can still be lacking articuation and speed, and then there are 103db EFFICIENT horns that sound accurate, intimate, and plenty loud on 2 watt SET amps. I guess what im after is efficiency, im currently trying to build a 2ch rig around a set of 101db ZU Druids. |
