I love my LS6. They have been the most surprising speaker I’ve owned. If you want some bass snack though you do need to put a beefy amp behind them. Or if you don’t care, yes they’re easy to drive. One thing that wasn’t discussed much was the treble - in addition to magic midrange, I think the treble is also incredible, and gives you a lots of detail and articulation, good air and great timber with no rolloff like some other BBC monitors. But it’s also inoffensive in the way it’s delivered, unlike many hard/metal dome tweeters. There’s no peakiness or etch in this tweeter. I love the mids and treble on this speaker. The other thing that amazes me about these is how wide open and big and spacious they sound. You get a total sense of the recording space with these speakers and you hear the body and space around instruments. And the stage and imaging is very 3D holographic and deep with these speakers. I use them with a Schiit Freya+, 2 Vidar monoblocks and a Schiit Yggdrasil and the entire front of my room opens up with a huge space with instruments placed all around it. No other speakers I’ve owned including the Dynaudio Special Forty can do anything like this.

I got a pair of speakers just recently for 500ish bucks (Elac Unifi 2.0 bookshelves from A. Jones). It has magic midrange, incredible treble, spooky imaging, etc. Can these 3000+ dollar dinky li'l speakers beat the Elacs by 6 to 7 times? In fact, i wonder if these can beat the Elacs at all.

One doesn't need to be better than the other. Variation is the spice of life .

@HAL9007 3 года назад

Yep. I go back and forth from my KEF LS50s and my Tannoy Cheviots -- about 80 years of difference in technology -- but both using point source, 2-way concentric configuration. Very different sound. Both have a place in my main listening room. LS50s emphasizes resolution, the Tannoys emphasize a quality I have not been able to define -- maybe dynamics, realism, momentum, mid-range joyfulness. I play both with a REL T/7i sub that makes a big improvement. If I had to keep one, it would be the Cheviots. OK, at 3 times the price. Note: Powered speakers are becoming a thing; they are getting much better quickly.

@epi2045 3 года назад

At one time I was on a conquest to find the perfect “one” speaker. I was on the wrong path. It’s not about perfection, but rather taste, music, and mood. So now I have 3-4 speakers in my system which I alternate depending on my music, taste, and mood. Unfortunately this is the same with amps, dac, etc. Being an audiophile isn’t cheap and uses up a lot of space however I love it.

@brucehazen8982 3 года назад

I'd say ... accurate. If there's excess high-frequency information in a recording, you'll hear it. They only sound rolled-off in comparison to most other speakers out there -- which are voiced bright. After hearing the BBC sound, most everything else sounds 'wrong'.

Steve some say the stands can make a big difference with these speakers. Graham Audio recommend open frame stands so that the bottom of the cabinet is not constrained. Unfortunately they’re hard to come by in this specific size unless you have them built. Apparently Gig Harbour Audio makes a metal frame stand for them. I was thinking of making some myself from wood.

@HareDeLune 3 года назад

They're a bit unconventional, but Mapleshade Records makes some very nice solid wood stands for speakers like this. Even though they are unconventional, they have garnered at least one or two good reviews that I have been able to find. : )

One of my favorite acoustic sessions was “Song to John” on the 1975 Stanley Clarke solo album “ with the late Chick Corea (RIP) piano, John McLaughlin acoustic guitar, and Stanley Clark Bass. It was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in NYC and it was a session(s) of three virtuoso artists who lifted the jazz trio to the level of chamber music finesse and refinement (much like the elegant Modern Jazz Quartet recordings). Many are not familiar this third Stanley Clarke solo album but for me the acoustic “Song to John” (co-written by Clarke and Corea) is especially noteworthy. But hey that’s just me 🤔😉 Bet this cut would be really special on these Chartwell speakers.

I don't know what Paul Graham would think about a 12 Watt amp with these monitors, I know Alan Shaw would roll his eyes and shake his head in disbelief.

Hey Steve, while I appreciate your commentary I wish you and other reviewers would do a professional studio sound check for us to hear and compare for ourselves. Using a Neve console with Neumann U-87 mics and Mogami cables with Neutrik connectors is one possible setup to isolate the audio details for each cabinet. All talk and no action just doesn't cut it for me, bro! I've been betrayed too many times for taking someone else's word for it. And I'm not about to spend 3 grand to find out. When I compared all the audiophile monitors, the B&W Nautilus 805 was the only speaker I've ever heard that sounds superb in every genre of music: from symphonic, jazz, fusion, rock, R&B, & country, to classical piano, which is most difficult for speakers to handle the fast transients. And if you add a Dynaudio active subwoofer those 45 foot wavelengths @ 27 Hz will give a superlative listening experience.

What happened to the Buchardt S400 review? Was there something technically wrong with the review unit? Did you send them back to Mads without a review due to Availability issues in the US?

Proac tablette 10 signature vs graham ls6? ....somebody know

@michaelswitzer3186 Год назад

I have purchased the LS 6 speakers and I’m wondering if the Hegel 95 or 120 would be a good amplifier to match the speakers with. I’m primarily interested in an amplifier that will preserve the LS 6’s lush mid range. Thank you.

With what amp you ended op?

@michaelswitzer3186 6 месяцев назад

I ended up purchasing an Atoll In100 amplifier (a French company). I bought it after doing the usual research (very good reviews), because it has sufficient power to drive the LS 6 (87 db’s) and it pairs well with the mellow sound of the LS6. It’s in a pretty big room, but I sit only 6 feet or so from the speakers. I like the pairing very much and always look forward to listening sessions. But I’m afraid my comments will be of limited value to you because these are the first speakers I’ve ever owned and so I have no basis for comparison, I’m not a a knowledgeable audiophile and my ears, along the rest of me, are quite old. Having said that,I like the combination very much. Thanks for asking. 😮

@cmessi 6 месяцев назад

@@michaelswitzer3186 My tip. If you are happy and look forward to listening sessions, keep this set and don't look further. A lot of HiFi people suffer from HiFi OCD. They obsessively want to improve sound. But if you have spend the vast amount of money you did, just grow old together. Have fun.

Do you think there is a definite 2x improvement with these 3k speakers over say a 1.5k speaker? Or is it a case of diminishing returns?

@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac 3 года назад

Funny! Is a $200,000 Ferrari twice as fast as $100,000 Corvette? Of course not! There’s $100,000 watch keep better time and a $10,000 watch?

@Aswaguespack 3 года назад

Everything has a value and that value is whatever seems appropriate for the parameters a product’s profile. Someone will agree with the value and price point and take ownership of a highly valued product and certainly will be very complimentary towards its performance characteristics. So if something costs 3k it’s likely the owner of 3k speakers will tout the characteristics of the product so it becomes justifiable. For me I can’t afford a 3k speaker but I can appreciate a product that is well over my budget. Happy Valentine’s Day to Everyone. Thanks Steve for another great review.

@vinylrules4838 3 года назад

@@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac As Steve is implying, a 1.5k speaker and a 3k speaker both playback music. It is a matter of what you get out of the experience. Not everyone will necessarily agree on what experience they will enjoy the most. Or in some cases enjoy different experiences depending on what mood they are in.

Dave Grisman is great. Listen to his first album. One of my favorites. Dave played all the time with Jerry Garcia. There is a version of him doing Coltrane's "Naima" on Grisman '80. I've seen him a couple of times. Also, the 50th anniversary of Workingman's dead, American Beauty and Stage Fright are all worth listening to them. My friend's band backed up Lou Reed right before Transformer album. They have the most famous Lou Reed bootleg with the "Tot's. This is not the best recording and you can hear the w wind blowing but a great show. They do an acoustic version of "So What" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PJl-zvWLitY.html
