Change to Horns or stay Dynamic

Looking at you system, I suspect that your Wilsons are not optimally set in the room. With the proper set they'll sound much more dynamic and stress free. You seem to have enough power to drive them, but the any flaws in the set will prevent you from enjoying their potential.

See my Review of the Sumiko Master Set. for a hint at what potential can be unlocked.

Dave

Yeah, those speakers are too far into the room. I suspect that they were pulled out there to remove midrange coloration caused by bass nodes interferring with the mids. They need to go back closer to the wall, but the nodes need to be avoided. Dealers trained to do the Sumiko Master Set know how to avoid those nodes and integrate mids and bass. It's hard for the untrained to do, so I'd suggest finding a Sumiko dealer that'll do it for your system.

Dave

Dgad, of course I've listened to horns.

You seem sold, so go ahead. I still doubt that your Wilsons are in their optimal positions.

I thought your were asking for advice and now that I re-read you OP I see that you may have already made up your mind. Sorry if I disturbed your euphoria.

Dave

Very nice description Dgad. Thanks for taking the time.

Dave

All I can find about Geddes' Summa is talk and theory, but no real reviews. Their web site absolutely sucks. Anyone got a picture of one of these???

Dave

Thanks Manga. So, is the Summa a modified Ai???

Ai is from Asia and Summa is in the US, I think. That guy really needs to bring his site into focus. Like so many brilliant people he has trouble presenting what he's all about.

Will he be at RMAF this year?

Dave

Johnk, yes, thoes horn bass units do get huge and expensive, fast.
