Re: Another RAAL v NrT question
I am brand new here... and today is my 70th birthday....and just placed my raal tower order with Dina this afternoon.
What I would like to share is that my current system is very responsive with gobs of very finely detailed
music and lots of presence.
I chose to purchase the raal towers because (though I have not heard them) as I look at the raal tweeter graphics David F provides in his literature...the spectral time stop of the raals is amazingly fast even compared with the Focal Sopra No.3, step response on be tweeter axis at best seems way slower 3.3msec compared to .75 msec of the raal tweeter. Google the Sopra 3 meaurements and compare...
What this means to me is better definition and resolution of the soundstage.. for me even at 70 what I can still enjoy musically will be far better with the Sierra raal tower. The raal tweeter from what i can gather from reading is that the raal tweeter has a uniform smoothness better control metal domes cannot offer. Translating into a cleare, cleaner flowing nasties free musical experience.
I think Brady best described it saying easier on the ears..
My current speakers are Infinity Beta 50s that do many things well...except for the occasional nasty overemphasis of certain instruments.
Hope this helps other seniors realize their audio dreams. If you seniors outhere can still enjoy music..
then why not give the Sierra raal towers a go....
