Studio 2's vs. Theater 4's


I had a pair of 2's in my system (Bottlehead Foreplay and Paramours, Heathkit EL-84 stereo amp, CDP) for a few days that I helped a friend build and they are very fun loudspeakers to listen to. My Theater 4's are an entirely different beast in my system. The strength of the 2's IMHO lies in it's lack of crossover which I feel adds a sense of immediacy to the music. The Theater 4's seem to have flatter responce across the board but there is the crossover to deal with which for tweakers like me leads to a bit of audio nervosa (manageable,thank you!). The 4 sounds like the more refined loudspeaker, which is what it is. But the 2's sound so lively, I really do plan on building a pair!
