Opinions on Pure Audio Project Quintet 15 Horn 1 Please


Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for owners or people who've heard the Pure Audio Project Quintet 15 Horn 1. I'm considering purchasing a pair. I'm based in the UK.

My listening tastes are a bit eclectic, but I guess rock and electronica are what I predominately listen to. Room is medium size, 14' x 26 ish

I have a few concerns:
1. They will need a sub or subs.

2. I can't find any measurements, but I think I read on these forums that the horn falls off substantially at 10/11khz & that some people are using super tweeters to compensate.

Can anyone assist please?

Best regards,

Dagda

Hi jjss49,

Thank you for posting!

I did indeed see his review of the Trio15 Classic. He mentioned that they played Jazz well, but also said the Cornwall IVs were better overall. I'm not sure just how much of what he said would translate to the Quintet 15 Horn 1 though. 

Thanks again for posting,

Dagda

P.S. I'm trying to get an audition with the Cornwalls at the moment.

Thank you all for the insights, I hadn't thought about the midrange. 😟

Nor had I thought that dynamics could be fatiguing after a while.

Oh dear, looks like there's more negatives than positives with this design.

There's always the Cornwall's I guess, though here in the UK, the price is £7,500 or a smidge over $10,000 US.

Would anyone buy the Cornwall's if they cost $10k?

All the best,

Dagda

 

Hello One and All,

Thank you all so much for taking the time to post your experiences/advice, it really is appreciated!

I think the biggest takeaway on this is that if I don’t like them, I’ll probably be stuck with them or loose a far amount in depreciation should I want to sell them on.

The price to me is too substantial to gamble on speakers I can’t audition so I think I’ll call it a day on the Quintet 15s.

I think I need further advice on speaker choice, but I’ll start another thread for that and detail what I’m looking for.

Thank you all again for your help,

Dagda
