Dunno what you mean by slow, but there's a lot to be said for keeping
crossover frequencies out of the ear's most critical band.

I thought so too, but over the decades I grew tired of the slowness.
When I had a chance to audition a used set of Yammies, I was blown
away. All the soft spots of the Studio 1's (which are almost identical
with the BC1's) were fixed. I had heard the Yammies many moons before,
back when they first came out, and I had forgotten about them.


The Yammies are MUCH, MUCH faster, and extraordinarily clean and
uncoloured. You'll be stunned. You'll skip sleep just to listen to them.

They're far too 'chromium plated' for my tastes.

I love mine, and they simply blow away the Rogers Studio 1's, in all
respects. It is worth pointing out that I owned them for 20 years.
