The room speakers have reflections & resonances to deal with & generally sound less detailed as they can be 6 feet or more away. A speaker in a room sounds less upfront than having two small desktop speakers on the Computer inches away.
TANNOY DUAL CONCENTRIC ELIPTICAL DRIVER
With Headphones you hear one driver with the full frequency range & it's close to your ear with nothing beyond your ear & head resonances to affect it. You can read that most instruments don't go much over 10kHz & what you do hear is mainly artifacts, harmonics & hiss making sound seem brighter than it really is. The Human Ear cannot supposedly hear these differences, yet some state we need Amplifiers delivering "sound" beyond 20 kHz to have music sounding right. Think you need a tweeter, a midrange squawker & the woofer? Phase errors will create a poor sound as well as the minute volume differences. So many lousy ideas in speakers.īuying a Speaker is the most hard of all hifi items to buy due to the huge tonal differences and how they interact with the room you use as well as the amplifier. Omnidirectional Speakers just blur the sound around the room losing any sense of Stereo. Inifinite Baffle sealed speakers are best for Bass, the Ported Type usually just let the large cone movements out as Wind instead of supposedly being Tuned via a Port to improve bass. We've tried Open Baffle ones with 12" Fane Driver & Tweeter in the early 90s, even using Furniture & the wall to act as a 'cabinet' the sound is just Midrange & Treble, as the Bass cancels out as the rear & Front Signal meet, it just doesn't work. See at the bottom of this page for how All Amplifiers We've Tried sound on the 1969 Tannoy Golds. We've not got bigger speakers of the post 1975 design, if we use some small ones to test, they hardly give a full picture of the sound if do prove compatibility to our amps with modern speakers. The fact is there really is no way to tell beyond actually trying the Amp with the Speaker. The more amps we try on our Tannoy Golds, the wider our opinion can be.
TANNOY DUAL CONCENTRIC ELIPTICAL HOW TO
No, we don't know if your Speakers match your Amp, but we can tell you how to tell if they are below. When you know the best, you're not interested in the rest. It's a minefield & we don't particularly care much about other speakers than the 1968-74 Tannoy Golds or 1975-80 Tannoy HPDs. We don't & don't have much interest in the thousands of mostly mediocre speakers made. Please don't ask if we know any other speakers than mentioned on this page.
