You advice to not use the Prophecy1 in too large a room; would you also caution against that when using a sub? Wouldn’t standmounters plus sub in general be able to fill a room with sound just as well as floorstanders without a sub?
Transmission line is all about timing coherency of the bass. I don’t think adding a sub works. That’s why there’s a line of floor standers as well.
Very interesting speaker for me and thank you for a great review!
This is a very specific use-case that you might not have tried… but let me ask anyway since its very important for my own use-case.
Does this one work in a near field setup, where I am only aprox 130cm from the speakers?
I ask since i have auditioned a few speakers on that distance and sometimes the soundstage doesn´t come together that close, i have noticed.
I can see that the distance between the tweeter and the midrange woofer is relatively big, which worries me a bit.
If that actually matters is only my own amateur guesses… 😀
Thanks again for great work for the audio community!
You might want to take a look at the Dynaudio LYD series : https://dynaudio.com/professional-audio/lyd
In case of near field speakers: the pro audio speakers made for this use case are unbeatable. Most of them are active. For good reasons: better control on the phase accuracy, which makes or breaks the soundstage, especially in near field use.
PMC, obviously, has a series of their own for near field use: https://pmc-speakers.com/studio/nearfield/
Thank you so much. Will have a closer look at active studio monitors then instead, and try to audition them.
