Moving to one of the two, not sure which. I was on the phone with Vintage King yesterday and their rep said the Hedds were basically "Adam, but better". We know the KH310 is excellent in basically all respects (save maybe for high level bottom octave distortion), but... what do we know about the Hedds?
So far as I can tell, here's what I've narrowed down
Pluses:
- Low end extension is quite good if the S&R review of the Type 30 is anything to go by (F6 of 33Hz)
- Truly goofy amounts of power (3x300W ICEPower Class D)
- Easy DSP integration with subs down the road
- Sealed or bass reflex loading
Minuses:
- I've never used an AMT I've liked, but this may be more my general dislike of the Adams I've used than AMTs themselves
- smaller woofer so potentially worse distortion at a given level when operated as sealed
- frequency response is not nearly so flat as the 310 (at least, if the S&R review of the Type 30 is anything to go by)
- additional AD/DA and DSP latency
Don't knows:
- Distortion performance (maybe better ported, maybe not?)
- Directivity behavior (waveguide, but not anywhere near as large as the one on the KH310)
- speaker hiss (probably minimal at most, but...)
