Hi.
Hey, I recently was listening to a bunch of various world renown BBC LS3/5A speakers and, while they sounded great, it made me wonder why people would be so interested in them, rather than a pair of say, brand new PMC TB2s?
Smaller the loudspeaker, when
properly positioned, better would be the music IMAGING.
That means the size of the vocallist's mouth will be reproduced to appear like the performer's mouth size.
Or the oboe or flue will be produced to sound like their real size. WITHOUT any size overblown as contrary to so many loudspeakers of large panel size tend to reproduce the performers' mouth or instrument many many time larger than their real size.
That's why BBC LS3/5A type miniature loudspeakers which deliver the imaging so precisely that they outperform many many larger sized loudspeakers.
That said, its too small size often fails to deliver sub-sonic bass effectively, particularly for large room. Surely no good for today's home theatre movies, or rock music or church pipe organ music.
Active subwoofers will be needed to make up what such BBC miniature monitors's shy shy bass performance.
