What midbass to go with a Fountek neo X2??
I have a pair of Neo X2s being delivered probably this week. Working out what to pair them with though is being a challenge. I was originally considering a Usher 7" driver, then the 5.5 or 7" SEAS paper/reed (there's a oddball combination I've never heard of before) but really, I'm still pretty undecided. AOS member Qwin suggested Quad 4" drivers as he's already used the Neo X1 in a Quad S1 with excellent results, and I'll examine this option as well. Just to throw it wide open for suggestions, what midbass would members here consider for a small bookshelf speaker to be primarily used in a 4 x 3.6M bedroom, but, if I get house sitting jobs for any length of time, they may well come with me for the duration of the job and would no doubt be used in the homes main living area.
I'm after a smooth, fatigue free, "clarity with warmth" type of sound suited to vocals, strings , piano, acoustic stuff and light pop/rock. I HATE excess bass and sibilence. Being over sixty, I'm happy to give musical enjoyment and fun the priority over clarity and insight. I still adore my Heybrook 3s, which have just come back from surgery to repair rotted midrange surrounds. In fact that's where I'm off to after dinner, a light listening session while the new surrounds bed in.
All suggestions much appreciated.
Without music, powerboat racing, photography and a whole stack of other stuff that floats my boat, life is just a non stop procession of deadlines and bills.
