I just had the Studio 220's and Stage A130's in my apartment. The Studio 220's were good but the tweeters were a bit harsh and obviously they have a size limitation. I thought they weren't much of an improvement on my 30 year old Venturi DV52's so they got sent back.It's really hard to find good reviews of the A120 or the Studio 220. I guess it stands to reason the A130 would be the best, but I'm trying to gauge how much of a tradeoff it is to go down to A120, which I understand has the same tweeter but a smaller woofer. And also how much difference there is from the Studio 220, which I think uses different cone materials.
I guess in the end it might just be as simple as the difference in the published low end frequency response specs, which are actually pretty close: 55Hz for the A130 vs 60 for the A120.
And the room these will be in has less than ideal acoustic conditions, which might make the differences even less important.
There are just so few reviews of the A120 and the 220 out there. Was curious if anyone has any impressions.
Thanks again.
The Stage A130's are a revelation. Play every kind of music perfectly. Have a huge stage so it almost feels like I have a 7 foot wide center channel when I'm watching movies even though I have no center channel. (I'm exaggerating but only a little) I only have 70w per channel driving them in stereo and they'd probably sound even better with an amp with 100 or more watts driving them.
