Speakers with extended range

[ear]

I've been listening to some stuff today.Yamaha A-S700 amp with soavo 1 speakers(to 50 khz),also with ns-333 (to 35 khz) and with kef iq10 (to 40 khz).After some switching between speakers I really had the feeling that high frequencies were very tiring.Soavo's were not that great,just more bass than the ns-333. IQ10's were good ,just need a little more bass.Anyone with extended range speakers?Impressions?

I did have a pair of Tannoy Sensys 1s which were what Tannoy call 'Wideband' speakers and designed for SACD. In the end they were tiring to listen to.

Wonder why they don't make the sensys anymore...damn I always arrive to the same conclusion--->What I have home is good.

The frequency range of a speaker doesn't tell you anything about it's tonal balance. The only way to hear the tonal balance of a speaker is to hear it for yourself, and also with your own electronics as this will affect how they sound too.

If you like iQ10's but need a 'little more bass', then the iQ50's should meet your requirements. If you need more, then the iQ70 is worth a try.
