Do more of these! Love these kind of videos.. Honestly I’d love to see you break them up, “best floorstanding speakers”, “best bookshelf speaker”, “best desktop speaker” (that last one would prolly be a grand slam, more people are looking for a quality PC setup than you think).. Maybe even take into other pieces of kit you enjoy, DAC’s/amps etc!

@rahliE777 Год назад

“Best desktop PC Speakers under $500”= 💰! (Or insert whatever price point, u can even do more than one) I know there’s a lot of videos out there like this, but if you can get your video out in that algorithm it’ll be timeless.. College kids need them for their dorm, younger kids on their gaming setup, moms and pops who do work from home or spend time in front of their PC, everyone wants a good value speaker outside of the shit Logitech offerings for their desktop cuz not everyone is interested in a home theatre or have a full listening room, but everyone does listen to music at their desktop! Looking for this exact video is what brought me into the audiophile world which is turn eventually brought me to your channel

I’m a big fan of the Dutch & Dutch speakers. Nice that they’re from the Netherlands. It’s such a complete package, really full range, cardioid, dsp, digital inputs, room correction, roon endpoint and great looks. I have the 8m, the non cardioid version without the 2 woofers in the back, which is also still very very good. ❤

Outstanding synopsis video. I'd suggest dynamic capability, startle factor ... whatever, is a characteristic we weight more significantly than the other linearity tenets we look for. I believe that dynamic, low compression, less lossy transfer is the vital x factor in inability to discern live from pre-recorded playback ... around the corner, or out of sight. Savvy list!

@mrrocknroll84 Год назад

I have to mention a speaker that is really well designed. I had a choice between the jbl 4309 or the fyne audio f500sp. I chose the f500sp because i couldn't losten to the jbl prior to buying it. It might not have perfect response, but it is very sensive to the quality of input. It's taken about 150hours now and its has started to run in. I chose it because i wanted a coax with a compression driver. Also no ports on the back or front. I work in the industry, i can easily say this speaker is in a class of its own. It is fast, super clean and the stage is brilliant. It will blow the kef r3 out of the water in terms of point sorce, clarity and speed. When you get a chance, have a listen. Setting up is extremely important with them. When done right they dissapear compleatly. Cheers buddy. Keep up the good work and greetings from Croatia 👍🏻

@thillyard1 Год назад

Erin great job as always. I would love to see you recommend speakers for home theater where dedicated subs are assumed. Personally I don’t care if a speaker extends much below 60-80hz because I have two massive subs to handle low bass. In my room these speakers are 100% home theater, I just don’t use the space for critical music listening (2 channel).

Nice review! I have the Lintons and for me, the Audiolab DC block bring up the upper mid/hi and details perfectly. That would be Dac and amp dependent however. ( mojo 2 - SMSL VMV A1 in my case)

@koo3144 Год назад

Dutch & Dutch 8C's are my dream speakers. I was not surprised they were on your list. There are way too few cardioid speakers out there for some reason. Most people have to keep their speakers near walls, it makes no sense that most speakers are not designed to be used that way.

@JamesWilliams-gf8gm Год назад

New band for me until he reviewed them. I would like to hear some good active speakers. I have only heard ones under $2000. They were all good for the money. But an all out assault would be cool.

@dilbyjones Год назад

@FOH3663 Год назад

I've used/mixed on countless actives. I own and currently use JBL, QSC, and Seaton actives. All absolute stand outs in their respective price level. All out assault actives would include ATC, Augsburger, Dynaudio, Genelec, etc. btw, there's no greater value in all of hifi than affordable active monitors. There's many quality offerings, but JBL's 8" two-way is phenomenal for what it does. $250, for the trickle down tech of JBL's several decades of research ... active, dsp contoured, with the killer waveguide. The active monitor segment is hugely competitive ... thus each mfr to continually elevating their game.

@dananskidolf Год назад

Yeah I'd be very interested to see more cardioid speakers too. KEF have the LS60 and their Blade Meta series for example.

@Av-gurusBlogspot Год назад

I've had the Lintones for about 6 months, and for the first 4 months I set them up the way everyone suggests (tweeters inward), the sound was good, but it was "located" between the speakers (it didn't spread outwards). Then I changed the position of the speakers, so I placed the tweeters towards the outside and immediately I got a much wider sound image that went outside the position of the speakers (expanding to the left and right, as if I had a wider room). I read in a couple of places that for narrower and longer rooms it is better to have the tweeters facing the outside, and for wider and narrower rooms it is better to have the tweeters facing the inside. I'm interested in your opinion on this, i.e. is it OK to keep the speakers positioned like that or maybe it's better the way everyone suggests (tweeters inward) ? The dimensions of the room are: - width 3.6m - length 7.3 m - height 2.5m THANK YOU

Hi Erin! I’m new to this world, enjoying your videos!

Hoping to get a McIntosh MX100 or Anthem AVM70 with McIntosh Amp. After watching this I’m curious about the WharfdaleS. Would you use the Wharfdale Linton for home theater audio with a center and sub? If so any center recommendations to use with the Lintons? Your opinion is much appreciated!

@marcgallant5270 Год назад

Hey Erin, quick thoughts on a project I'm thinking about. I'm toying with the idea of building/finishing nice HDF cabinets and dropping KEF Ci200RS-THX drivers for L-C-R. I like the idea of an 8"midrange / 1.5" tweeter combo for HT application(high SPL). Max SPL In Room on these should be in the 112-115 range which gives great headroom for reference levels. I'm honestly surprised KEF doesn't manufacture a bookshelf version of these for HT application.

@Sonofsun001 Год назад

Love for you to do top affordable speakers, perhaps starting from budget and then do midrange.

@Karolus Год назад

Really interesting list! I may already know the answer, but where do the Genelec Ones stack up against these 5 for you? I'm guessing that they have a lot of the linearity that you look for, but more narrow dispersion than you enjoy? Or are there other things that aren't to your taste with them? Perhaps for another time, I'd love to hear if your list changes if you assume a sub is being used.

I see that PKaudio and Troels Gravesen both have offerings in the kit format but I’m unaware of commercial offerings. You might ask why I would limit myself to this design? I would consider other designs but it seems that these 3-way designs address some shortcomings with my current 2-way revelator speaker that I currently own - which I like btw. Anyway, I would hate to make the DIY trip if it doesn’t buy me much more. Auditioning a commercial product would help with the decision.

@JamesWilliams-gf8gm Год назад

Awesome! I love this type of video. I voted with my wallet and bought the Revel 228be and JBL 4367. I highpass subs at 60hz on both using a JL crossover. I really liked the Revel 228be and still do… but… with a direct A/B in my own room on a Mcintosh MC462 amp in direct A/B the 4367 smokes the Revel. More detailed in the bass and much more detailed in the highs. Mids are about the same. Then you add in dynamics, and the 4367 sounds much more real. It snaps harder on drums etc. hard to describe. But dynamics is where it is at and far more important than I realized before. As for soundstage. You know they are not that different. Yes the revel is wider I guess but sounds small due to lack of dynamics. Kind of odd. I would have never said the 228be is closed in or small sounding but next to the 4367 it is out classed. I sold the Revels and plan to by a few more JBLs for a 5.1.4 setup. I will do 4367s all around if I can swing it. If not maybe the 4349. Currently I have 590s in the rear which are ok but kind of harsh sounding in the treble for music.

@HappyPass-wh7jg 11 месяцев назад

Hey Erin, I thought it was a fun video! I just saw the thread about it on ASR and I completely disagree with Amir on this. I don't think it's clickbait. This is like one of those topics that come up when people talk about any hobby they like. And even if they were reviewed earlier, it's not like I'm going to search for a review of the Dutch & Dutch 8c if I don't even know it exists. That's why 'top videos' are useful if they are done by someone who knows what they are talking about. If someone watches a 'top 5 under 500$/1000$/desktop/active monitor/etc.' video they get a quick comparison and maybe some new options so they can look up more detailed reviews if they are interested. Threads like that is the reason I don't like ASR, other than to look up some quick measurements if they have them.

@JamesWilliams-gf8gm Год назад

I have heard both and owned the 228be. They sound almost the same, the 228be is better though. The 228be will probably play louder if you need that (you don’t lol).ASR has measurements of the 228be. I found the 228be to be lacking in bass extension and used subs. My other speakers in the house (JBL 4367, thiel 2.4, JBL 590, Klispch RP8000F) all had more bass extension than the revel. I really think the revels needs to be close to the wall at say 2’-2.5’ to get bass kick. At 3-5’ they sounded pretty soft in the bass to me.

If I needed or could afford another pair of speakers, I’d probably buy those. It’s as you say, Erin, different speakers have different strengths, so depending on what you’re going to do with a particular pair, that generally dictates their preference. Like you, if money and space is no object, I’d probably have several more pairs than I actually do! 👍

Would the Wharfdales work as LCR in a home theater say 19x25x8? Would they provide enough volume for loud movies?

I've got Wharfedale Evo 4.2 and I loved them, I really wanna replace them with Linton, do you guys thinks that's really an upgrade?

Erin, Wharfedale Linton or Kef R3 Meta?

Great list. Review something from ATC some time!

The look of a speaker is very important to me and I have found that I like a little subtlety in appearance. So, even if price were no object here, I might go with the Lintons. Definitely not the JBL's! I think Sonus Faber does a great job with design. Elegant but subtle. I was very tempted to get the Sonetto IIIs. Unfortunately, I could only hear them at the store which is not set up for the best listening experience. Without a home trial, I passed. Would be great to see you review a pair. Probably don't measure all that well though from what I've read. 🤷🏻‍♂️

For me, my Sonus Faber sonettos sound thick warm in the mid to low range, soft on top yet still Sparkles and even though I use Dirac.. where measurements are concerned, I'd rather use those things on the side of my head!

@@totalplonker824 Hmm. That does not sound like the flavor of sound I prefer. I like clarity and definition in the midrange. Thanks for your report!

Great topic! Got me to click right away! But I’m craving B-roll of the speakers you’re taking about maybe with the name and some of the stand out specs on screen while you talk. Your an attractive man but this is RU-vid not a podcast :p keep it up!

Oddly, the dutch isn't my flavor. I am surprised they were so good, and I recall watching that video when you posted it. At audio shows, 4 times ive heard it, it's not my cup of tea. I bought the RC 262, infinity, and man that's a really nice speaker. It's sad that it was discontinued, and it took me a long time to acquire it. But very happy I did, I believe its klippel score or whatever that score is was fairly high.

My kinda guy. "If money were no object, I wouldn't buy just one set of speakers, I'd buy 3-4". You can never have "too much" stereo equipment or speakers. lol I pick up stuff all time, usually not working properly and I can fix them. Because sadly money is an object for me. But my dream pair of speakers are the Klipsch LaScala.

Can you do the same thing, for active designs ?

Do a review on the Heco Celan Revolution 3

When you say "soundstage"? Are you referring to the how wide the image SOUNDS in my brain, or are you talking about the physical "projection" area of the sound waves coming from the speaker? Thanks. Love your channel.

Both. It varies from song to song, of course. But the maximum radiating width drives this as well.
