Re: How do I choose speakers: specifications

Does having a lower base result in better higher frequencies?

Thanks.
All I can tell you is that’s not my experience. In the last few months I’ve listened to several “bookshelf” speakers and none of them had a harsh top end.

Tell who ever told you that to listen to a pair of Sonus Faber Concertino Domus, they are one of the most “anti-harsh” speakers I’ve ever heard.
