whilst searcing for a pair of floor standers I wouldlike to mak3ethe foll observations about buyingspeakers in mumbai=>>
1- they must be front ported. avoid rear ported as you have limited space from the wall and this could result in bass boom. with rear ported speqkers yourequire at least 2 feet distance from the rear wall which not many flats have the luxury of.
2- avoid side firing woofers forthe same reasons
3- floor standers are far better than stand mounts. rememberthat the stands will occupy the same space on the floor with their footprints. the luxury of a full cabinet gives better base responses. the cost of a decent pair of stands will cancel the saving of the stand mounts.remember the common midrange/woofer in a stand mount cannot rival a floor stander.
4-wooden timbre is wooden timbre-avoid aluminium cabinets
5-grills must be detachable for cleaning as well as removal. no grill is acoustically transparent and i prefer to listen with the grills off.
6- you must biwire if compatible--use the more expensuive cable for the woofers and the cheaper (same length) cable for the tweeter/midrange. an examlple is kimber kable 8TC/4TC
7-sit at the apex of a triangle formed buy your speakers and you for the ideal sweet spot.
8- invest more money in a good pair of floor standers and avoid the centre channel/sub woofer/rears if you mainly listen to audiomusic. remember over 90% of the sound comes from the front pairs - this avoids ugly wiring and other costs!!!!
shall be bck with other observations soon
am dekighted with my B & W 804 s speakers--want to listen????/
