Best Sounding L/R Speakers for DVD/BD Movie Sound? > $4K/pair
« on: August 24, 2024, 11:33:12 pm »

If you're a vintage DVD/BD movie collector like me you're likely to have been less than thrilled by the audio quality of lots of discs in your collection. I'm especially talking about movies from the mid 1940s through the mid 90s. Of course, there are a small handful of blessed exceptions, all BD editions: “Double Indemnity” (1944); “Whirlpool” (1949); "North by Northwest" (1959); “Collector” (1965); "PJ" (1967); “Colossus: The Forbin Project” (1972); “Conversation” (1974); “Love & Death on Long Island” (1996)

But if you do own such titles produced between those five decades don't many sound compressed-and possibly with a somewhat noisy high end, if there is much HF response at all? Any other aspects about the sound which you often find troublesome?

So, if you have spent at least $4K or more on L/R speakers-and maybe also $1K or so on a center speaker-then on a scale of 3 to 10, with 10 being most satisfied, how do most of your oldest or most of your DVD and BD movie titles sound to you?

Please share make/model of those speakers.
