Davis Acoustics Courbet N°3 Review: Not inferior to floor-standing speakers in a small space

Today we will take about the Davis Courbet N°3 bookshelf speakers. Kevlar diaphragm is used for the 5-inch midrange unit, and the high-frequency part is handed over by the 1-inch soft dome tweeter. The appearance of Davis Acoustics Courbet N°3 looks very traditional, but its box is not a square rectangular box, but slightly inclined backwards, that is to say, its side is a diamond instead of a rectangle, which can be in a certain To a certain extent, reduce standing waves. If placed against a wall, the inverted holes on the back panel can add a certain amount of low-frequency energy. Courbet N°3 belongs to series Davis Courbet.

There are four models in this series. Davis Acoustics Courbet N°3 is the only bookshelf speaker and the one with the most color choices. There are white piano paint, black piano paint, walnut and red mahogany selected. The four models are suitable for spaces of different sizes. For example, Courbet N°3 is specially designed for rooms under 25 square meters. It is really difficult to control the effect in the room of nearly 60 square meters, but it still shows quite high quality.

Davis Acoustics Courbet N°3 is a bookshelf speaker with a very high level of resolution and openness, and has unlimited potential. The better the front end you match it, the louder the volume, the greater the dynamic range you can hear. The more details and levels that can be tapped.

In the audiovisual room of nearly 60 square meters, Davis Acoustics Courbet N°3's performance is good, its mid-frequency is full and mellow, and it has excellent texture for listening to human voices, especially male voices. The high frequency is clear and not harsh, the middle and high frequencies are naturally smooth, and the details are rich and fine. I personally like its interpretation of piano or concerto, because the strength and weakness of the notes are delicate and natural, so the sound of the instrument sounds very real, and you can easily hear the changes and fluctuations of the melody. There is a kind of what we often say " sense of music". As for the low frequency, the sense of quantity is really not big, but the flexibility is good, and the connection with the middle frequency is also close. Perhaps in such a spacious space, Courbet N°3 will inevitably make people feel that the low-frequency part is lacking when playing some large symphonies, but the overall listening sense and the sound field created still make us feel far better than ordinary floor-standing speakers.

Interestingly, after listening to many different types of CDs, we also found that Courbet N°3 is a very "honest" speaker, which not only can faithfully reflect the quality of the recording quality, but also allows you to distinguish some distinctions in recordings. This is not simple.

In a nutshell, Courbet N°3 is a high-quality Hi-Fi bookshelf speaker with good openness, high resolution, full and solid mid-frequency, bright and smooth high-frequency, which can create a wideness that is not inferior to floor-standing speakers in a small space. The sound field is very rare. Although the sound style is not very distinctive, it is true and accurate.
