Why not horns?

Hello Mr DB,

I'm very familiar with the Jadis Eurythmie and also attended the 96 show ! I also heard the Jadis setup at Lyric. I found that speaker to have a huge tonal balance issue and not to my liking and yes there were those that loved it , i guess if it is your thing , i thought the Audio Note setup was better, But this is Audio , enjoy the journey -)

When any system lacks energy and content(different from pushing high SPL) most tend to increase the volume , kinda drive the music home , in this manner they feel it is "live" not so ...

Music, especially recordings of live music has a lot of energy, micro and macro dynamics, this energy and dynamics is what drive the volume as it swells, the closer any system get's to correctly reproducing this is the more you will understand of what i speak, it is different from playing music " loud" it's the difference of it sounding real!

Horns will always sound like hi-fi, never real , they project sound in a manner where all instruments and voices have the same projection and size.

Utter tosh.

Weseixas, I am not sure if you are saying to me your ears are "better" than mine, that I play loud to compensate other areas of deficiency. Let me just say...to each his own. I understand dynamics very well, and live music, both amplified and unamplified. I do wish you the best and just hope your system can make your feet tap the way mine does for me. Listening to a high end speaker in a room with other speakers present,you tend to hear those other speakers as well(Lyric). Time to move on.........Thank you

Mr DB,

I heard the Jadis setup both at the show and at Lyric, never said anything about my ears being better than yours or anyone else, I'm merely commenting on a system's dynamics vs loudness, well that was my attempt anyway .. LOL. nothing about the quality of ears...
