In Reply to: Why do my Vandersteen's sound... posted by Lagav on December 19, 2024 at 17:49:57:
"Why do my Vandersteen 2Ce Sig II's sound great with jazz and horrible with orchestral music? The midrange on them gets all glassy and hard sounding, almost compressed and choked."
It's not an easy question! There are several possible reasons for this. Without being in your room, it's not possible to know.
First of all, it's essential to recognize that people often ascribe an attribute to something which has already been on their mind. This biases their thinking.
In this case, however, you may be right. It's well-known that loudspeaker manufacturers "voice" their speakers to sound a certain way, to appeal to a certain demographic.
Yours may be "voiced" to sound good on some styles, and not necessarily on others.
Another is your room. Room size and acoustics are important.
Another is your expectation.
My first guess is that your speakers are voiced to sound good on certain types of recordings. My second and third guesses do not involve your "upstream" electronics.
