Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Biggest Con is that recordings were made NOT using horns

and as a result, many recordings can sound a bit different from intended via horns. For example, many compression drivers measure with peaking response in their lower range, and unfortunately, that means elevated response in the critical ranges including 1-3kHz range, which is exactly where many engineers dial in a bit extra "presence" for the general audience who are listening via phone speakers, computer speakers, etc.

Mastering by professional powered monitors also has consequences in bass. A recording that has the right amount of bass tightness and damping via powered studio monitors can sound underdamped if played back via truly horn-loaded bass.
