The main issue with the speaker is the dip in response in important 1 to 2 kHz range. I can see why that may sell speakers but I did not like this change. I find that change unwelcome as it made the speaker a bit bright. Not in a bad way but not exciting.įrom what I read, the designer Andrew Jones tried to add some more highs to this second iteration of B6 speaker. Performance when the needed volume was required was very good. Even playing one speaker I could get it to nearly ear bleeding levels with almost no distortion! And importantly, it can play loud, very loud! It is most impressive speaker in that regard. The teal one is for the room so ignore that. With this in place, the pull down at 5 kHz (purple) was then more helpful than not. This increase in response brings out more air and detail in lower frequencies which I always find welcome. This so called spinorama shows us just about everything we need to know about the speaker with respect to tonality and some flaws: I used over 800 measurement point which was sufficient to compute the sound field of the speaker.Īcoustic measurements can be grouped in a way that can be perceptually analyzed to determine how good a speaker can be used. In a nutshell, the measurements show the actual sound coming out of the speaker independent of the room. Both of these factors enable testing in ordinary rooms yet results that can be more accurate than an anechoic chamber. It also measures the speaker at close distance ("near-field") which sharply reduces the impact of room noise. This is a robotic measurement system that analyzes the speaker all around and is able (using advanced mathematics and dual scan) to subtract room reflections (so where I measure it doesn't matter). Measurements that you are about to see were performed using the Klippel Near-field Scanner (NFS). The binding posts as is typical are too close to each other and recessed in this case, making them pretty difficult to turn.
