      I just picked up a pair of factory refurbished Klipsch R-15M for $109 from Woot. I've owned bookshelves from just about everyone, from Dayton to Totem, perhaps a dozen pairs, and in my room, these Klipsches sound fantastic and are very solidly built. It really is a matter of spitting hairs when comparing these speakers, you may prefer one or the other, but they're all really good.

    The Tannoy Eclipse blows all the others away. They are by far the richest and best balanced and most natural sounding, with the other Tannoys and Monitor Audios following. The MA Bronzes would be a better comparison, because their price is closer to the others, and they are voiced with a fuller midrange than the Silvers.

    For me the Monitor Audio Silver 1 is 1st place, and Dali Zensor 1 and Tannoy Mercury 7.2 are joint 2nd as I think Dali's low end sounds nicer to me but it's also a bit bright/harsh (and I say this as a Zensor 1 owner myself so not just based on the video, these are not speakers you want toed in!), while the Tannoy has better vocals, so the choice depends on preference.

  • @TimpBizkit

    I have heard my friend's Dali surround sound and I do find their smaller speakers better with a subwoofer although that's no surprise. Dali and Klipsch tend to be quite prominent in the highs.

    • @pliedtka

      If you know someone who knows how to tune crossovers, you can make Dali sound a bit warmer by attenuating the tweeter by 1dB or so. Not hard to do at all, just one resistor ;)

      Secondo me le più musicali che si lasciano ascoltare per più tempo senza fatica d'ascolto sono le prime Tannoy. Le Dalì sono migliori per separazione dei vari strumenti. Le M.A silver costano troppo di più rispetto alle altre. Le klipsch comunque si difendono bene

    Dali or MA. I can decide trying a more dynamic music. Tannoy 7.2 too dark. Klipsch too high and poor with mid spectrum. Tannoy 1 and 7.2 enjoyable but too smooth. Just an opinion, taste based. Thanks for your comparison.

    Many people say the Dali's are to bright. Will putting them through a cheaper amp calm the brightness? I have a Cambridge Audio A5. Different amp, same speakers and different sound I presume. I had a Pioneer A400, JBL TLX speakers and Awai CD player. The chap in the HIfi shop told me they were perfectly matched and they were. The baffles went on the speakers and the rear posts went dodgy so I took them to the dump. What a fool.

    i like biwiring only because it makes possible to tame a little some exuberant tweeters ... if i am not wrong some high end speaker like i think Wilson provide some precision resistors to fine-tune the speaker freq response in the listening room.

    • @TimpBizkit
      @TimpBizkit 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bi wiring or bi-amping? Bi wiring does nothing as both come from the same source, just cable run to tweeters is longer. Passive crossover bi-amping where you send separate full range to woofer and tweeter crossovers might do a bit as the tweeter amp is not actually doing work in the bass range despite receiving a bass signal.

    • @pliedtka
      @pliedtka 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      With bi-wiring you can attenuate the tweeter section with higher resistance of the cable or additional resistor (0.33-.5 ohm or so). With bi-amping if a level adjustment is provided, it's super easy.
