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

I've owned the Spatial M3 TS and while they were light on bass, they really turned me on to dual concentric designs which led me to Tannoy.

I did cross shop the M3 with the Pure Audio Project trio, and the major issue I saw with the PAP was that I'd never be able to sell them if they didn't work out. The DIY build approach means you can't easily package them back up and ship them to a willing buyer, and the Quintet being an even larger speaker is going to have fewer potential buyers due to low WAF (despite their very good looks IMO). If they work for you, great!  But, what if they don't?

Open baffle speakers have their upsides, but bass is not one of them if you have a room with large volume. The room needs to be small enough to pressurize, but deep enough you can place the speakers far enough from the front wall (1-2 meters).
