Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Quad Electrostatics (the originals) and Avant Garde Duos.....

Quads for that "live" sound in intimate recordings, and Avant Gardes give you big (maybe too big?) and effortless like nothing else I've heard.

Third, really idiosyncratic choice - Edison cylinder acoustic recording of voice played back on an Edison machine - sounded like a real person at the other end of the horn. You hear the horn coloration, you hear the frequency response limitations, dynamic range limitations, etc. but for a moment it's so "real" you don't care.
