Horns with good timbre and tonality?
I’m looking into buying a pair of horns for my next speaker. I sold my Sonus Faber Elipsa SE. Looking for a more realistic, more lively sound. I’ve heard the Triangle Magellan and enjoyed the sound, but wonder if there is better.
I appreciate speed and dynamics with good timbre and tonality. I know horns are good with speed and dynamics, but not sure if they can do timbre and tonality like SF can.
Looking at German Blumenhofer FS1 / FS2, French Triangle magellan, Fleetwood deville, Avantgarde.
It will be paired with Mastersound 845 Evolution SET or Auris Fortissimo amp.
Room size 40 x 15 x 8 feet
Must realistically play Solo Piano, Cello and full scale symphony.
If you are looking for realistic piano, cello and symphony, have a listen to Martin Logan Renaissance ESL 15A. These puppies have everything you are looking for: speed, dynamics, timbre and tonality. As a musician, I find that these faithfully reproduce that "musicians in the room with you" sound. However, they do require a lot of space around them. |
@ei001h wrote: "Do you think they can reproduce dynamics ?" Absolutely. And @audiokinesis is correct. Timbre is very difficult to reproduce properly. Martin Logan Renaissance ESL 15A do this very, very well. But don't take my word for it, go have a listen to them. There must be at least one ML dealer around you. |
