Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: "Why do my Vandersteen 2Ce Sig II's sound great with jazz and horrible with orchestral music? " ...

25 watts(even tube watts) into 84db yields decent results with girl/guitar or acoustic jazz trios, but falls woefully short on large scale, complex rock or raw blues. IOW, material that requires a lot of drive to present a realistic presentation requires power. I'm not guessing here, I speak from my own experience. Two options...buy a 100 watt+ tube amp or 200 watt+ sand amp. Option #2....keep your current 25 tube amp and a buy a pair of Klipsch Cornwall's or similar.
