Recently I spend more time with Scaena 3.2 augmented by pair of Rel 31 subwoofers.

It give realistic and transparent soundstage with little distortion.




Lansche 4.1 with plasma tweeter give very clean and refined female voice.



Altec A7 horn also give very lively female voice.

Which speaker sounds best for "Something cool by Jacintha"?

I would appreciate your opinion.

Of course, it will depend on personal taste and room accoustics. ;)

Dick Olsher used to use recordings of his wife’s voice to help him evaluate speakers. I occasionally use a vinyl recording of my Mother’s voice to learn about speakers.

Unless someone knows what Jacintha sounds like in person, there is no way to defend a preference for one over another of these choices.

I listened to all three and then listened directly from Quobuz.
I don’t put any stock in YouTube presentations of audio systems, so these next comments may be unique to me.
First, the spectra seem tilted toward the treble. Second, it sounds like these recordings are picking up a lot of the installation room. I’ve really cranked it up on my system, and the reverberant field just isn’t there in the recording. These probably sound great in person. I’m just not feeling it in the videos.
