Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair.


My system consists of the following:

  1. Focal 938 loudspeaker
  2. Bryston $B3 cubed power amplifier
  3. Rogue Audio RP-1 preamp
  4. Weiss DAC 204 DAC with Modwright Power supply
  5. Lumin U2-mini with S Booster power supply
  6. Seeking horn loud speaker that sounds rich, full bodied and dynamic at 50-55 decibel levels. 
  7. Thanks.

Agree with @vicdior . The Fleetwood Deville. Did an audition recently. They are difficult to beat at that price point. Definitely something to go listen to. Some don't like their look however. Best of luck and keep us posted.

If I were in your shoes with that budget, my choice would be to take that dough and get a nice pair of custom veneer Volti Lucera's or a used pair of Rival's then spend the remainder on tube amplification. I had the Rogue RP-1 and liked it very much. Paired with something from Cary, or Quicksliver would be pretty awesome. I have yet to hear a loudspeaker that knocks dynamics, tonal quality, and midrange out of the park like Volti's do. IMO of course.

I question if that is possible with any loudspeaker.

 

Another recommendation for Volti Rivals. I really enjoy mine. Not even sure that you will have to turn on your big Bryston amp to get to 60 db…. You might need 1/10 of a watt on peaks w/ them at 98+ db sensitivity. Seriously, some amps don’t sound their best until significant power is drawn from them so you may consider a lower powered amp & maybe tubes.

Happy Khorn owner here. Ecstatic owner when subs were added. Easy to find latest iteration new/demo/used. With subs I was all in for under your budget.

Be that as it may I would think the Volti Rivals (with or with out subs) would thrill.

The big honking amp might be not quite the right fit????
