Bright Treble & Crisp Sound Bookshelf

[SAPSEC]

Hi :


I want to look for super bright treble, crisp, and detail sound for my bookshelf speakers ?
There are BW, KEF, JM Lab, Klipsch. Any idea of which branch I have to choose ?

Thanks,

Andy

You do realize that a really aggressive speaker like that is going to be terribly fatiguing after a short period of time, right? But hey, they're your ears...

Of the one you've listed, the Klipsch will likely come through as having the most prominent treble. You might also listen to Paradigm's Monitor series, Axiom (internet direct), NHT, and Monitor Audio. Speakers are very subjective so what may be bright to me may not be to you.

Good luck and buy some aspirin. You're going to need it.

Hmmm, don't think I'd lump my Axiom M3Ti's in the bright category...well, at least not compared to my old Mini Monitors...they're certainly not fatiguing...they're a funny speaker to describe though.
I wouldn't dare go much brighter than Paradigm or Klipsch, they go about as "detailed" as you can get without sounding scratchy and harsh.

Could ask WHY you are targeting such a speaker?

I found the Energy speakers to be very brite. The models just above the take two.

Have to disagree with topspeed (about aspirin). Like he said, everyone has a different preference. I think you'll be quite happy with Klipsch, from what I gather based on your requirements. Soem of the less expensive ones don't have a great soundstage (like my Klipsch KSF8.5s), but their reference line is much better than their Synergy line. Due to the horn, the highs are crystal clear. I don't find their speakers fatiguing at all, but every listener is different.

There are better speakers out there (I like my Nautilus 805s much better) but the highs you're looking for is something you'll find in Klipsch speakers.
