On one hand they took power well for how little they are.

When it was all done, the highs were more pleasing but still not quite right.Īs noted in the measurements, I had to really crank up my amplifier to drive these. I went back and forth on it as some tracks sounded better with it or the other way around. Depending on your room modes, this may or may not be necessary. Otherwise the EQ may sound worse in quick AB testing even though it is doing the right thing. Whenever you filter out different bands you reduce overall volume so it is very important to compensate for that. Notice how I actually increased levels across the board to make the subjective loudness the same. This so called spinorama shows us just about everything we need to know about the speaker with respect to tonality and some flaws: Likewise listening tests are performed per research that shows mono listening is much more revealing of differences between speakers than stereo or multichannel.Īcoustic measurements can be grouped in a way that can be perceptually analyzed to determine how good a speaker is and how it can be used in a room. Measurements are compliant with latest speaker research into what can predict the speaker preference and is standardized in CEA/CTA-2034 ANSI specifications. Reference axis for measurements was the center of the tweeter. I performed over 1000 measurement which resulted in error rate of roughly 1%. In a nutshell, the measurements show the actual sound coming out of the speaker independent of the room. Both of these factors enable testing in ordinary rooms yet results that can be more accurate than an anechoic chamber. It also measures the speaker at close distance ("near-field") which sharply reduces the impact of room noise. This is a robotic measurement system that analyzes the speaker all around and is able (using advanced mathematics and dual scan) to subtract room reflections (so where I measure it doesn't matter). Measurements that you are about to see were performed using the Klippel Near-field Scanner (NFS). For the very best in bookshelf speakers talk to the experts and experience the HiFi the way it was meant to be.I was surprised that the model marking and such was under the unit.

We have an extensive range to fit every budget, taste, size, performance or style requirement. Of course at Len Wallis Audio we’ve been selling bookshelf speaker for over 40 years.

In actual fact the very best performance it achieved by placing them on quality speaker stands and positioning them correctly in your space for the optimum sound. in fact some speakers demand a bit more space in order to perform at their best.
