Hansen Emperor vs......

Hi all,

I'm curious if anyone has ever listened to the Hansen Emperor speakers? How would you rate them against eg. Marten Coltrane, Kharma speakers and the Avalon Eidolon Diamond for instance?

I've heard good things about Hansen but have no experience with them, Could anyone describe the sound?

Thanks a lot

In response to Guidocorona comments regarding the Hansen's at RMAF '07 -- the speakers used in the AUDITORIUM (approx. 130' L x 45' W) were NOT the PRINCE, but rather the larger EMPEROR. It should also be noted that this was not a listening room setup, the system was used by mastering engineer Bernie Grundman as support for his lecture on mastering. Many who heard the system felt it was among the best sounding at the show -- despite that it was not in an appropriate sized room.

Guido,

Once again, you are 100% completely wrong here!!!! The electronics driving the Hansen Emperors were the Boulder 1012 Preamp and 2060 amplifier -- NOT Halcro... Seems like you might have been anywhere else but in the room you've provided misinformation on TWICE. What's up???
