[QUOTE="John Halliburton, post: 130762, member: 8"] Re: Casual JTR Noesis and Danley SM80 meet up-also QU24 "Win" is not the correct term. It was not a shoot out. The voicing on the SM80 is not my preference for the type of work I do most. They could be processed and I could use them, but I would rather have a loudspeaker with voicing to my liking right out of the box, or as close as I can get/afford. That is why I mentioned the other Danley models that I prefer. Plenty of folks using them and loving their performance. Directivity is a hallmark of the Danley Synergy design, and the SM80 certainly performed better, but that was totally expected-any direct radiating low frequency section is going to be almost omni in it's radiation by 200hz, and the Noesis is no exception. The Noesis were used Saturday for a small concert in a 24'x50'x12' room, stage at one of the narrow ends. Wound up cutting 215hz on all the speakers, and I'm sure part of this is due to the inherent behavior of the direct radiating low frequency section. Using my SPL Runts(predecessor to the SH95) in there does not require this cut in the house. That said, the Noesis were very nice sounding and well behaved after that. Visually, the Noesis were a much better choice in there, the SM80 would have produced some "Speaker Fright" by their appearance in that setting. Not something that I have to worry about often, but it is a nice touch when needed. Best regards, John [/QUOTE]
