My take on speakers!
To me dynamic range by itself has zero value, some of the best speakers I ever came across (Duntech PCL-15) are very limited in dynamic range but are extremely capable of creating a magic illusion.... some of the best speakers with regards to macrodynamics as fas as I know is the Avantgard horn speakers; I listened to some of them and they all sounded like complete crap to me... Male voices sounded like Tom Waits singing in a megafon, which is not OK, unless you only listen to that one song where Tom Waits actually sings into a megafon, this makes for very limited choice of music.
The best speakers from dynamic perspective is probably Magico Ultimate, but as fas as I have heard first hand from people listening to them, they can only play Japanese music, and I don´t listen to Japanese music.
What matters to me is the speakers capability to create a magical illusion of being there. I have never seen or heard anyone suggesting any way of how to measure a speakers magic...
How do you measure a speaker´s magic?
I suggest that for this to work it all has to come together... Phase coherence, frequency response, power resonse, microdynamics, macrodynamics, power compression, distortion, directivity control and tons of other things. I suggest there is no way you can have all of this because there is no speaker that is best at all these things.... so I reckon it at the end all comes down to personal preference.
I would never buy speaker based on a review or one person´s opinion, I trust only .... my ears at the end
Maybe I would like the s7t, maybe not, but tons of measurements at the end of the day are only measurements.....
