    I really appreciate this comparison video. Though I do hear a difference between the 4.3 and 4.4. The 4.4 are more forward sounding and the high end a little more pronounced. I read some listeners making reference to the microphone placement, nevertheless, I think the Evo 4.3 would work best in my space. It is simply more pleasing to my ears, clear, articulate and open. Thank you for this video and the musical selections were across the board.

    Yo tengo unas Evo 4.4 y no deberian compararse con otra pareja que comparte los mismos parlantes de medios y agudos , las 4.3 estan diseñadas para espacios mas pequeños y amplificadores mas pequeños, las 4.4 necesitan almenos unos 5 metros en triangulo y un amplificador de 100w con el volumen a partir de 1/3 es cuando te puede dejar ojiplatico con sus grabes y la calidad de sus medios el tuiter empieza a presentarse como es a partir de el volumen indicado, si no tienes una sala generosa no le sacaras su excelente y apabullante riqueza dematices. Suena especialmente bien con voces de yaz e intrumentos clasicos como la guitarra, organo en vinilo y en digital todo lo moderno sin limites, puede llegar a gustarte el reguetón.
    Espero que os sirva mi experiencia.

    Pues tengo los 4.3 y son espectaculares para su tamaño, suenan increibles.
    Al principio dudaba por su tamaño pero cuando habres las cajas y los sacas ya sabes que no te van a decepcionar.
    Lo que màs me a sorprendido a sido los graves que tienen😮.

    This video is living proof of how sensitive these Evos are when it comes to toe in and vertical height. A slight shift and there goes your treble.

      Yeah, I hate to admit it because I LOVE the 4.4, but it's true that the treble has to be dead forward. Have you ever tried folding your ears forward while listening? It's amazing.

      @@davib7534 the AMT is too directional and has very narrow direvtivity. At 6khz it starts beaming like crazy. Folding your ears directs sound into it, somewhat of a cupping effect.

    I own a pair of 4.3's so I was curious to hear a comparison, but I'm afraid to say that this comparison is useless (no disrespect meant to the recorder). The placement of the speakers in terms of aligning their tweeters and mid-range domes in relation to the recording microphone(s) would be of utmost importance. Consequently the EVO 4.4's sound a lot more forward and the 4.3's less so as the microphone obviously pics up more of the mid-range dome on the 4.4 and seems better placed for the 4.3's - in the sweet spot. Looking at the cabinets overall I would guess that the 4.4's have a warmer sound in terms of timbre along with a more punchy mid-to-lower bass.

    As an Evo 4.2 user (same AMT and midrange drivers) the 4.3's sound like they haven't had time to 'run in'. The 4.2's took over a week of use before showing their true potential.

    4.3 more neutral, in some tracks boring, in some times more playing hours. But the mic height can affect the sound

  • @gavinralph2910
    @gavinralph2910 Год назад +2

    Mic height needs to be adjusted, look at the difference in height between the two AMT tweeters, that will effect the HF energy being picked up by the mic. 4.3's sound a bit more balanced but difficult to say really. 4.4's generally sound louder? Perhaps more efficient due to larger cabinets?

    • @Osuna..
      @Osuna.. 9 месяцев назад

      Seguramente suenan más fuerte ya que llevaran unos graves de 6" o 6'5". Y los 4.3 los lleva de 5".

    • @ThePupil

      Speaker is designed with this tweeter hight. Therefore a mic at ear level would be normal assuming you are sitting in a sofa.

    Can someone tell me how is the bass? I really love this speakers. But the bass I think that is not so deep as the Grunding 8500 mk II, that goes from 25 Hz to 20 000 Hz.
    And someone can recommend to me the best amplifier for this speakers?

      @TheBRBvideos 29 дней назад

      I have the 4.2's on good stands. They use the same bass driver as the 4.4's (though one per cabinet instead of two). Bass is solid and tight down to 50Hz at which point I crossover to an active sub. I believe the 4.3 and 4.4 go around 10Hz lower at -3dB. All the Evo's benefit from a 'run in' period of around two weeks. In my case the bass driver was the last driver to really show what it was capable of. Denon AVR X2700H and WBC UE 9AWG cables.

    how does the evo 4.2 compare to the evo 4.4?

    • @stemplar0007
      @stemplar0007 Год назад

      As I have evo4.4 and listened to 4.2. 4.2 sounds surprisingly nice. But you need a subwoofer. For 4.4, if you listen to high-quality Flac/DSD (where the recording and mixing are of good quality), the bass is enough. You don't need an active sub. (Slot Loaded Profiled Port (SLPP) and several liters solve it...moves several liters of air) In terms of price, the 4.4 could play a league higher..
