New member Username: JoselePost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-06 | (Excuse my poor english, I can read and understand this language but I don't write a good english. Sorry...) I'm looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers for a NAD 320BEE. My music tastes are: Heavy Metal, Thrash, Death, Hard Rock, Blues...The problem is: When I say that I like this kind of music, people think that I need only a brutal bass sound. Well, I like a powerful bass but inside a sound with very good definition and clarity (not the JBL or BOSE typical sound like people think). I'm searching for a very clear sound, with definition and clarity but also with a powerful punchy bass and treble. Like the tittle of this thread: The best of both worlds. I don't know if a speaker with definition and very good bass for Metal music exists...What do you think? Thank you, and one more time: excuse my english please. |

Where's he been anyway? Sorry to hijack your thread James. I'd also like to know where you're located, what is available, and what your budget is. Also, are you using or plan on using a sub woofer? I listen to a lot of rock and metal through a 320BEE myself. |

Bronze Member Username: Jingka99Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia Post Number: 45 Registered: Aug-06 | James, I suggest that you take your time and audition all the speakers that you've listed if possible, that is the most effective way of really knowing which one suits your music taste... Out of the list, don't fail to try Dynauadio Audience 52 or 52SE, Quad 12L and I've heard from Frank A. that JMLab released the 700V, worth trying this as well...I'm not discounting the rest in your list though... Goodluck |
